Seagate Soccer. 1-1 tie. We started the season with 2 losses, one of them 8-1... We now stand secure in 2nd place. :-) Two more weeks and it is over though. :-(

Nooo Energy.... I managed to make it through the leg presses and dumbell presses, but this was a low energy endeavor. Character builder...

Early game... We were 3 short 5 minutes before the game. 1 short at the start, and 3 subs 10 minutes in. Managed to score early, then they tied with about 15 minutes remaining. We got one with 5 minutes left and held on for the win. 5-0 record this season. 1 game left, then playoffs.

Birkie #2 is in the books. I should be happy with this, with the lack of training, but for some reason I am disappointed. I didn't feel well early in the race, the skis seemed slow, and later in the race I was gassed. Poor prep, incentive for #3.
Actual time was around 3:39 ish. You have to ski to the timer. I started the GPS at the gun.

A tough game against the team that beat us in OT for the season win earlier in the year. It was 0-0 with about 5 minutes left to play and we got a nice goal. Held on for the win. Justin tatooed a player on the other team. Pelting him with rockets 3 times. :-)

Vetting the Nerstrand Score O. Pretty nice course. The woods is really open right now. Streams were frozen over, so no worries about getting wet. It looks like I am coming back from Hayward on Saturday, so I will be able to assist Andrei for hanging the controls.
Took the GoPro. A little pre-event Hype to be published soon.

Body Project 1:00:00 [3]
Continue to make progress. 23-4 count dips, 24-4 count seated rows (120lb), 22-4 count squats (165), and my weakness in the overhead dumbell press, a set of 12 and a set of 7 with 35 lb weights. The killer exercise is 2 sets of partner resistance lower back exercises. I thought my hamstrings were going to tear. The PT has a real sadistic side. Likes to see you hurt. Immediately following squats (no break) he gives me 2 -25 lb dumbells and a fitball. You lean against the wall with the ball in your lower back. 5x4 count up/down, 2x2down-10up, 10x2/2, 1x hold the bottom at 10. My legs were shaking so bad he called me Elvis...

Back at it. Having last Thursday off to prep for the pre-Birkie helped. Good to be back at it. PT has me doing goofy weight with dumbell presses. I told him to back off on the legs until post Birkie.

I actually skied better than I thought I would for this tough event. Ski's felt OK, despite the new snow and cold temps. I think it was about 3-4 degrees at the start.
Pre-sorted and started at the 2:30 time slot, which would have been fast for me. There were a lot of 4 hour skiers in front of me though. So much for an honest pre-sort. They played the national anthem, and then boom, we are on our way. I hadn't started my garmin. Double poling and trying to start a garmin sucks... better than Alex though, the start caught him without his skis or poles on, and he was up front....
I went about 100 meters past the start, someone stepped on my pole... my skis went straight up and I landed flat on my back. Caught that with my gopro.... :-)
I stayed steady eddie throughout the rest of the race. Caught an edge once and took a slow tumble. Passed a lot and got passed by a few.
I saw O-Steve on the course twice, saw Charlie S (CAOC) at the gear drop, but noone else from the O crew. Conditions were good, course was hard, glad I went up for it.

Skiing has been tough for me this year. No motivation. I skied a bunch of K on the birkie trail a few weeks back, going back this weekend for the pre-Birkie. Not too optimistic about results.... The plan is to go hard and just collapse for the rest of the weekend....

Another win. We are now 1 point out of first place. We had a solid win against the 2nd place team. 4-1. Felt good.

Lazy game against Andrei's team. I can't figure out why they haven't won more games. Plenty of talent, they just don't click. We ended up winning on two pretty good goals, 2-1. They also had a pretty goal and some good chances. Injuries are killing us. We will see if we can hang on until the end of the season.
