Matt: recouping

Yeah, I had a great weekend. Brown was a blast, on the field anyways (the party was atrocious). Dartmouth had some really solid play, on the whole. Wound up losing to UMass Zoodisc in semis on universe point, but that we came back to force universe point after being down 9-4 is highly commendable. It would've been nice to beat Umass to get to Brown, seeing as Brown lost to UMass on universe point as well; we're looking at a wide open region here, folks, and it bodes well that we've still got lots we can improve upon, lots of potential to fulfill, and will certainly be a team much improved come spring.

Anyways, I played pretty well; my stat line for the tourney was something along the lines of 10 touches, 1 turn (sorry about that, Dermott), 1 D, maybe 3 thrown scores, and then 4-5 caught scores. Which means, ratio-wise, when I touch the disc Dartmouth scores points, more often than not (the point I had a turn on we got back and still converted). Played D-line as usual, only had the 1 D but I certainly forced a couple other turns, and generally played fairly solidly.

Though I am a bit sore today. Not too bad for practice, though, which is a good sign, but nonetheless I'm looking forward to really whipping my ass into shape come winter.

With that in mind, I'm planning to do my first run in a long, long time tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. I'll probably also lift tomorrow evening--gonna try and get a solid lifting session in and then I'll likely keep it more low-stress until we start training proper in a couple weeks, with a focus on my right knee, which is always on the verge of being a liability, and on the core (particularly obliques) and upper body, probably the shoulders. My back/shoulders have been annoying me lately. Thinking I'll get away from the 'standard' ultimate workout we usually do and get some variety in after tomorrow, as well.

In other news...er...oh! I got Soul Calibur 3 in the mail the other day. Planning to break it in after I finish this post (man, I love having no homework. And being an asshole about it).
