A weekend in Boston with Metro North 2017. I’m in the worst shape ever going into a season, with several nagging injuries. Despite that, I still played pretty well. My two turns were both poor-decision, poor-execution hucks. I also had some mistakes on D, getting beat badly a few times. On the upside, I had 3 Ds including a fall-over handblock on the mark, I threw some nice throws and hucks, and my legs felt ok at the end of Sunday. Even running the nine 40s at the end (one for each OB pull all weekend) felt pretty good.

Strained my back squatting on Saturday, so I took a few days off and started light again. I think I’m squatting too low and losing proper form at the bottom. Gotta stretch more and be more careful.

We had 9 for goalty today. The games were fairly good, but Diana pointed out that there’s not enough focus on not turning the disc over, and it’s too easy to poach instead of playing tight D. There are some possible modifications we can make to help the latter, but I’m not really sure about the former. We already keep score, but no one pays attention to it that much.

I finally have a home gym. The squat cage hasn’t arrived yet and my shoulder is hurt, but I can still do a little.
