At work all day yesterday with no meetings, almost no emails, and few people in the building. Yet didn't get in a workout. Doh. Made up for it today, 60 min elliptical and 4 mile run.

It rained over 3 inches last night and today but stopped at noon. 8 people showed up for a very wet, muddy frisbee game. Kind of breezy but warm (in the 60's). My team was doing much better in the warmup so I was worried. In the game to 5, it was tied 2-2, then my team won 5-2. Next game, my team was down 0-2 but scored 3 straight to win.

We knew it would be a big frisbee group so we went to Pittman park. 20 people game so we did two 5v5 games. My first game was tied 3-3 before losing 3-5. Second game we combined into a big 7v7 game and then I switched teams into it due to people leaving. My team won 5-2. We were there a solid 90 minutes.

Somehow hurt the top of my foot Wednesday but decided to play today. Still hurt but not enough to slow me down. 6v6, windy. I played poorly- lots of bad throws, my aim was just off- missing open receivers on easy passes by 5 feet. It happens. My team lost 3-5 (and I felt lucky it was that close), then won 2-1.

No workout other than running around for 4+ hours trying to herd cats, aka 48 middle school kids at their first every track meet. I was proud of how hard they worked- we had kids clearing the bar in the high jump at 4 heights despite never doing it until today, kids doing their first ever relay, etc.

11 people for frisbee, my team had sub. They had Logan but a few new players. Dennis showed up from Charlotte, first time we've seen him in a year. They scored first but we dominated the rest of the way, winning 5-3. The next game was pretty relaxed/low key, my team lost 3-1. Alex covered me much of today and I actually dominated him- I think I caught 4 or 5 long scores against him. Sam said afterwards that he'd normally give me a 0% chance of catching with that matchup (Alex is tall, fast, young, and can jump), but I won all but 1 of the chances today. Nice when that happens. I also threw well, with 1 stupid throw. Don't think I had any other turnovers, and even had a beauty long throw to Dennis around Logan, which had to be perfectly placed. Probably means I'll play terrible on Friday.

Finally played frisbee. It's spring break. We were expecting 8 people but only 7 showed up, so my team added a 10 year old as our 4th member. Hot, very windy, tired people led to lots of turnovers at first. We eventually added another pair of 9-12 year olds which gives the game a different feel. Despite really struggling at first, my team eventually won 3-2. Two of our points were even caught by the kids. No one wanted to play more, we were pretty hot and tired.

4v4 frisbee, though an extra guy showed up so we had someone switching teams. My team figured out how to score while down a person first, and stole the first point from the other team. We traded points, though my team had missed opportunities (I dropped an easy catch in the end zone that would have put us up 3-1). At 3-3, the extra guy left and my team suddenly struggled a bit. We ended up losing 5-4. We did an extra game, had a bad drop, and lost 0-1.

Soccer season is finishing up. I have kids on 2 rec teams and 1 school team- all teams are undefeated (8-0, 8-0, 9-0). Each has 1 game left before end of season tournaments. Between the 3 teams, they've scored 103 points and only given up 10 points total. I'd say those are pretty good teams. And my cross country team will hold tryouts in May, so I'm already looking forward to that.

First day of cross country tryouts.

In 2021, we had 39 try out and kept 38

Last year, we had 54 who wanted to be on the team, and kept 46

This year, we have 72 trying out. I think we'll likely keep between 46-50. I am really not looking forward to cutting anyone. Hopefully a few will decide to not come to the time trial- I'd rather than self-cut than me have to cut runners who want to stay. My son is an incoming 6th grader and will likely be right at the limit.

13 people on a pretty hot, sunny day (summer is coming), my team had sub. We had the worse team- 3 weak throwers, slower, and we got whupping in the warmup. So, following Jon's law, we won 5-4 and 3-2. I think I played well- I don't think I had a single drop or bad throw.

Lunch- humid day. 5v5, other team had sub. My team should have lost but did better in warmup, then got stomped 1-5 in the game. We all had bad throws, but I had a ton of them. Then we did 3v3 and lost 2-3. Not a day for the highlight reel.

elliptical and treadmill/XC practice

today was the official XC time trial for my team. 4 boys were a no-show, so we had 34 try out, and I think we'll keep 27 to run plus 3 conditional. 6 girls were a no-show, so 29 ran, and we'll keep 21 plus 3 conditional. That means we'll dress 48 on race day plus 6 more trying to earn their way onto the race day team. Up to 54 at practice. That will be nuts.
