So last night was one of the more painful moments in sport I’ve witnessed. Not painful “owww!!!!”, but painful “feck. maybe I could have made a bit of a difference had I been playing”. Our team played Shiny last night, and it was a 180 degree turnaround from the previous outing. I wasn’t playing due to my leg (which still hurts), and we were a little short on men, so I felt even worse.<\/p>\n
Everyone got off to a great start, and opened a 6-2 lead. Unfortunately, not one person on Shiny is over 30, and the age and (lack of) conditioning of our team really started to show after 20 minutes. It was 8-7 for the opposition at the half, and 15-11 at the end of the game for the bad guys. It was nice to see everyone show so much promise, and more importantly, so much smart playmaking. I little more oomph here and there and we would have had the game, it’s just that fatigue set in and killed us on transition.<\/p>\n
It makes you wonder what a fresh set of (uninjured) legs that can go the whole game (usually) without sparing might have done. All in all, a really good effort, and the zone defense was working really well (man… welll… not so much in the second half). Everyone finsihed happy, and I think next week may be a little different. Louise was back as well, which added a lot.<\/p>\n
Great effort, really close (more than the score shows), everyone was talking during the game and happy after, and next week is the return to form.<\/p>\n
Today was spent in Montreal. One of my staff leaves for a new position next Wednesday, and we’re covering transition with a new addition to the team. Was a very good session, but I’m going to miss working with Cat and exchanging Anglais vs. French barbs.<\/p>\n
Why is it that pizza is so much better in Montreal, anyways? It’s not really what I’d consider a delicacy in Québec, but for some reason I can’t remember ever having bad ‘za there.<\/p>\n
For the first time in my train riding experience, VIA was on-time both legs of a trip. I bought a lottery ticket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
