on and on.

ON the bike ride up to the running camp I stopped to take a pic with the new camera. Not bad for a cheap digital. Set it to 10 second delay, it takes 6 or 8 photos over a 3 second period, pick the best, voila. I dig the camera, i haven't figured out how to have all the images preview or show as thumbnails, so i'm a step slow in sorting them right now.



Good camp,
tues: 49 mile ride there (from the house), paddle accross,
wed: get up, 3 mile hike to mountain, run the mountain (5 miles, x1000 vertical), (56 minutes, 11th place for the team, totally fine, probably 3-5 minutes better than when i did it 2 years ago), then read, and ate,
thursday, 13 mile run, read, ate
friday, biked home, included 17 minutes up sparks grade (which I THINK is about what i did it in last year.)

Tomorrow, 8:00 am, bike ride the second.

Can you please explain why your blog is always on Ultimate Talk? Why oh why? Not that I don't enjoy reading about all the miles your body is racking up...

thanks

oh good. i'm on, b/c i played for 18 years for sockeye and chain, and, frankly, i'm fucking funny. but these are the responses i crave. so reply, and i'll give you my thoughts on

a) junior ultimate
i)strategy
ii)training

b)offense
i) h-stack
ii) v-stack

c) defense
i) zone (1-3-3, 2-3-2, matchup, man (trap, middle, flat, vs h, vs vert)
ii) see above

d) diet.

e) the mental game

seriously: idris keeps me in, i guess, b/c i've known him for years. and if you go through the archives, you'll find the shit. search: diet. or strategy.

or go back to match's mis-spellings of awful words or oh, gfys. here's a link

i think i searched diet, worlds, nationals.
enjoy.

and thanks for your comments. i'll always reply.

if you want to hear about my days with UGA, CHAIN, or SOCKEYE, my 6 nationals, 3 worlds, 2 college nationals, or want some specific nugget as a coach, ask.

but you are right. i owe write ups for solstice, and potlatch, and they are forthcoming.

So my brother's blog is basically Luke blogging his push-ups, a peanut vending troll, and my co-worker salesperson's boyfriend/husband. Small world.
