It was a mixed results today. We were playing a team we were capable of beating but that is often the case (and we still lose). We did manage to win the second game. This time we actually made the other earn the points instead of just giving them away. Next week we play the really good team.

I was well rested and ready to play hard. I decided I would start as defense as my team has been giving up goals early in the game because a defender would push up leaving us vulnerable at defense. It was working well. Me and the other main defender were doing a great job of shutting them down. After about 15 minutes I decided it was time to sub out (and I did). Unfortunately the other defender subbed out also and in came the person I was worried about. 30 seconds later he got the ball and dribbled up to the forwards area where he lost it. The other team quickly brought it back, did a fast break and scored. 2 minutes the same thing happened again. So despite my best efforts we were down early in the game.
We ended up loosing 6-2. The score should have been much closer. Our forwards had opportunity to score but just were not succeeding.
By the end of the game my calves were threatening to cramp. At one point I was chasing a opponent, knowing I couldn't catch him without getting a cramp. I subbed off after that.

Very stiff and sore. Hard to keep moving without my calves cramping.

Still resting the knee so rode the bike.
