at UCSB we beat davis-b, alameda girls (dbl game point), ucla-by, lost to san diego-b
felt meh was up then down then up then down, in a slight upward tilt

somewhat tight at night but not as bad as last tourney (chico) in the fall
didn't play most of day 2 (today) first game, but then came in 8-10 to win 11-10 (mega Ds)
threw better over the course of the day, did well vs sonoma (was on maggie?), then dbl game point on ucsb-b..

throwing was okay, sometimes inconsistent, not great into the wind, need to step out more, practiced throwing earlier. didn't break up line or cut across as much as did on monday or end of last qtr hm.

but yea makes me think of how 1.3yr ago i got really strong/fast in the linear direction but didn't have mobility/lateral speed/endurance, and then built up more endurance over that year, then mobility over the summer, and more lateral strength after that, to where i'm pretty strong now (20kg Kbell get-ups / snatches) and really mobile, and conditioning wasn't really a prob, just the lower back fear... but Z thoracics and biofeedback-based flexion or extension helped keep it in check, reading today about McKenzie extension work and also vitamin D (!) but i think i just need to balance out push/pull and not push too hard each week with max-strength work... also the psychosocial component...

felt better today tho i was afraid a bit, yesterday i ran more like 40-60% today between 55-85% at times, def could keep up the linear speed with anyone, lateral quickness could be a little better but was okay, throwing consistency was iffy for hucks but good medium/short, pulls got better over the weekend, had a few that rolled ob in the endzone =)
