my toes

both my toes are a bit inside-the-toenail bloody, alas, i suppose i like these lax cleats but i do tend to push my big toes into the front after a whiles cutting in them, esp on turf...

this wknd went okay, 2 games won, 2 games lost by a point, 2 games which were a challenge.

def on first day was a bit tired--taking those 4 days to recuperate from the first 20 days of the month sapped aerobic conditioning pretty quick. wasn't horrible, but conditioning was meh.

felt better on the first day than i did first day of last tourney (santa barbara), and back felt pretty good on day two. actually conditioning wasn't too bad on day two but yes a bit tired.. on day 2 realized i have quite a bit of work to do on the mental game.. wasn't focused at first but then channeled my role model for a bit and focused on being and feeling confident, that was good.

second game vs sdsu was tough, had to learn how to pick up the disc facing the sideline since they were marking super close, but after i learned that got a couple of nice pivot and huck backhands.. strength was good for pulling, actually fh pull was probably slightly longer.. handler cuts not great, dump cuts okay nut could be better, need to work on zone O handling..

rolled a lot in the last game.. but mentally wasn't always in the game.

first day tho fun.. lots of sticky hits.

oh yea and my calves boo, esp right one. i have been ignoring them for a while, and you don't quite need to hit them in the swing and the get-up, which i've been hammering on these last few weeks. did some isometrics post day2 tourney, and then after a big dinner (yesterday was extrastuff barbacoa burrito, chips, a little bread, a taco with chewy fish, chalupa and like 5 chocolate chips), did some sets of 10-12 shouldstand squats, dozenish beginner wall pushups, then 5 + 3 + 2 pyramid horizontal pull (after almost progression horizontal pull 30+30+40). can't quite get chest to table, might be the grip?

10+20 short bridges, 5+5 straight bridges, 10 rep knee tuck. for some reason i always want to do 20kg cleans for a rep or two, dunno, my NS likes it.

more big toe icing, then some R calf heat.
