Ultimate!

So Rad and I ran our first tournament. Spent way too much time together, we were very organized and prepared for it. Took a bit more work than we expected. It's okay, now we know for next time (if we were to do it again). But overall, success! People said it was a great tournament because of the high level of competitiveness AND we had lots of women!

Santa Barbara Invite is next week. I'm excited. This is the first test for our team. I really enjoyed yesterday's practice, we were pushed more than we've been recently. First we ran the beep test and that's obviously a great way to start practice! But I was very proud of all our girls, every girl improved their fitness from the first time we ran it. Then A team did sprints for chattering during warm-ups the whole time. Doug had us do a 3 man marking drill, and a few of us weren't sprinting to put on the mark, so he stopped the drill and had us sprint instead. After practice, our conditioning consisted of jumps and, you guessed it, more sprints. So my legs are somewhat tight. Good luck to those going to Lei-Out!

Here's to hoping this year will be my first sunny Santa Barbara Invite! It's been gross for the past 3 years..

And when we had the girls line the fields for the hat tournament, they weren't sure how we wanted the fields oriented.
