Pain in the Butt

Pulled my butt at practice earlier this week. It's surprising how much you use your butt. I've been icing but since I can't find my ice-pack, I'm using my bag of frozen vegetables. My roommates find that gross. I find them gross. So practice was fun to sit out and watch. It always sucks to learn new things but not able to practice them immediately. It's okay, I worked on my high release backhands on the sidelines. Too bad it'll only work on marks shorter than me.

Prez Day ended great for us. I was very proud of my girls. We broke seed and came home with 4 wins. Last year we came home with 1 win, and then lost to that same team later in the weekend. We finally broke our curse of losing to UCSC on tight games by beating them twice at Prez Day. Gave a good game to UCSD (W), Texas (L), and Wash U (L on DGP). Texas game basically was just runs by both teams, and they ended up getting longer and more runs. I almost had a baller sky D. Open side D, saw the huck went up, beat my player to it, jumped up crazy high, brushed the disc--not enough, and she was behind it and caught it and scored.

Played against Wisconsin. Didn't see too much of Georgia, but I supposed they didn't really need to utilize her that much against us. But seeing her in person, on the same field as me (and she talked to me in the bathroom!) did a little for me and the fan girl inside of me. It's comparable to a 12 year old meeting Miley Cyrus. Oh, and Muffin was also there. That was like seeing Nick Jonas. A few epic moments: 1) Colleen skied Georgia for a D. 2) I psuedo-skied someone for a D, the disc misthrown and drifted towards my player, but I had better positioning so I got to it first. Anyways, it was right by our goal line, Beth was extremely open and called out to me. I rushed the throw, and didn't put as much outside-in as I liked and she couldn't quite get to it in time.

Took my first ice bath. Surprisingly painful. People were making fun of me because I couldn't stick my legs completely in and was only icing the back of my legs. And then when I tried to get out--well, that didn't work out too well. Second night, Rad kept me company while I ice bathed alone. Again, painful as heck getting in. Rad tried to bring light to the situation saying it's not as bad as the Titanic where their whole body was in freezing water. I told her that I understood why Jack died now.

Stanford open this week. We're seeded as 1--what's up. Here's to a double Davis victory. Davis sweep!
