Ran stairs at the Art Museum with Miggs, Glazer, Patrick and Leon.
5 min rest
Up one landing, jump onto the ledge, sprint into jump/climb over the pillar, down the pillar, up the next pillar, sprint into jump/climb over the pillar, jog down the pathway. At the bottom, do 20 pushups, 30 full bodies, 30 squats. Do that whole thing 3 times, finishing with 50 squats on the last one.
Throw for 10 min. Bike home.
First Spinners game. Massive crowd, over 1700 people. We beat the Buffalo Hunters 26-14. No Ds for me, but I did catch 3 goals and played reasonably well overall. Got beat deep once.
Definitely need to work harder.
Gym workout with the Spinners. It’s hard to get a real workout in with so many people and with having to move from station to station.
Played 36 holes at Sedgely (18 blue, 18 yellow). Had some really nice birdies and hit-the-chains-but-dont-sink-it near-birdies. Also had some horrible scores because I went for it too aggressively. But hey, that’s part of learning.
Had Spinners practice 11-2pm, then went to UDel and scrimmaged their team (plus a few pickups) 4-7pm. My ankle didn’t hurt after practice, despite playing a lot (played a bunch of O-line, which was interesting). I think I’m almost fully healed.Also, met Bill Clemente at the first practice :-)
Did a gym workout with the team at our sponsor gym in Broomall. Not my typical workout, lots of repeated stuff (squats, leg press, upside down leg press) and isolation stuff (curls, tricep pulldown, calf raises), but it was kinda cool. I also did 101 sit ups in a row.
Had spinners practice both days. Ankle is still not fully healed, but I played most of both days. It seems to be fine when I’m not playing, but gets worse as I play. I hope it heals completely by next weekend.
Still rehabbing my ankle. Tried to do cleans but the jump doesn’t feel good yet.
AMRAP in 20 min:
I got 13 rounds with about 3 seconds to spare.
Spinners track workout at Temple. I still can’t run, so Glazer and I did Parts 1 and 2 of Kung Fu Throwing. I liked part 1 but thought that part 2 was too short. That’s the part that I need the most work on, but it has very few throws. I think I’d double or triple that part next time. Then we did the typical Spinners conditioning (push ups, squats, abs).
The team did a track workout at the Temple track yesterday. I was nursing a sprained ankle, so I didn’t run. I threw around and did the conditioning part (push ups, squats, burpees, scissors, etc).
Played two games in winter league finals. First game was against Keg/Kuhfuss. We were up the whole game but I got hurt in the 3rd quarter (evertion ankle sprain) and we only won by one point. Next we played Laarz. I sat out the first half but started to play in the second half. We were down 5 late in the game, but then we threw the Trey zone and evened up the score. We couldn’t pull ahead and ended up losing by 1.
After that, I went to Spinners tryouts. We did the beep test, breakmark drill, hunger drill and 40 meter survivor sprints. We also scrimmaged a lot. In the end, I made the team. Expect a lot of “spinners practice” posts.
Tied Brose’s core team 20-20, then did 10 burpees, pistols, push ups and full-body crunches. I played well in the first half, esp on D, but threw away a LOT in the second half. Mostly deep throws to people covered by H or bad up-line throws.
