You In Sports Today!

bummer, sounds like you overtrained with the anaerobic exercises, i'd cut back if i were you

Well I have just finished my last season on an organized team. It took me from 1st grade to 10th grade to win any kind of a championship and my basketball team won it so im gonna stop on a good note.

Why not finish out high school ball? Unless you are Jordan after 1998, you still should have something to prove. Plus I'm assuming its a game you love, so why stop?

Whats crazy is that my coach doesn't think we've done anything hard enough yet to cause stress fractures. I beg to differ.

Cool thread.

My recent exploits...

1. Recently got pwned on a weekly basis at intermural basketball at my college with some friends. But I led the league in "times running up and down the court" (unofficial stat). I'm quick and tenacious on D (good for turnovers), but can't rebound or shoot to save my life.

2. Currently training to kick the hell out of my friend in a triathlon this summer. Actually, the goal is just to not have the triathlon kick my ass.

3. Shot under 100 in golf (18 holes) for only the 2nd time in my life (career best 95). Yeah, it still sucks, but it's good for me. Looking to break 90 this summer. 🙂

...woot!

I had a track/CC coach who did the same thing to me. The whole team would burn out by the season's end. Peaking at the right time is key, and overworking sucks. My sympathies. 😬

Yeah, its been my worst season in 5 years. I've only ran a couple meets and with such a major loss of training (6 weeks during season). Thankfully the torture will end this Saturday. I'll be lucky to make finals in the Northwest Conference.

Last game I played, i won the city championship indoor. Im on my way to play next spring season probably in both Queens NY and Stamford youth.

quotes from coach on Me

"Best hustle of a stryker we have"

"Best attitude I ever seen of a soccer player"

"He always has a unique way of playing in every game. He never quits."

"Number 7!"

So this Friday I finished up my collegiate track career. A week ago I ran in the DIII Northwest Conference Championship and took 6th place in the 200 meters and 10th in the 100 meters. My times were my best ever so my coaches had me run in one final meet this Friday to see if I can top myself before ending my career. I did just that by taking 4th place in the 100 meters with a time of 11.10 seconds and 7th in the 200 meters (winning my heat) with a time of 22.71 seconds. The next step for me is whether or not I will coach next year (my head coach asked me to but it depends on how difficult and time consuming grad school is).

You got enough underarmer there champ?

I live in Oregon, it gets cold. Plus, under armer prevents injuries by compressing the muscles and keeping them warm even if it weren't a particularly cold day (it must be in the 80s or above for me to not wear it). I almost wear it out of paranoia 😉

Click Clack!!!

I've watched that commercial way too much these last two days.

I haven't been playing a lot of sports lately. I've pretty much been doing yoga for my exercise regiment. It's good stuff and looking at hot chicks' asses for an hour is always good times.

Yea, I need to take a yoga class, when I'm at the gym, they sometimes have a class in session, and the chicks in there are smokin. 😮‍💨

I sometimes wear it when i lift, or once in awhile when I run, but for the most part I just make sure I stretch.
