Hamilton here we come

Besides the temperature finally getting below 100, the wildfires close by, discussing MUDI and finding out seigs has a blog again, not much is new. We are preparing the city of Hamilton to have the first ever ultimate frisbee practice in the city. Everyone is psyched. I have normal July feeling of the fall series seems too far away and I just want to play frisbee at a tourney. I guess I'll get my fix in Seattle.

Anyway, working backwards from the past week or so-

Today - practice, not too bad. Good running, weather was nice, pretty good frisbee. I turned it over once on a cut miscommunication. The ol' couldn't hold the disc in. Oh, and I biked to and from work this morning. Total trip ~6.5 miles or so. The first time in a while I have worked out twice in a day in a long time. Now that is a good way to get ready for a tourney, two-a-days.

Wed - 4 x 300/200, 15 seconds between, 4 minute between sets. A killer workout, but good. 300s were 50-51 and the 200s were 34-36. The 300s felt really good and I did feel like I was holding back. The 200s on the otherhand, my legs felt dead. It was a good workout though.

Tue - short run, ~15 minute run. I wanted to throw afterwards, but it was too dark.

Mon - 5 minutes up/down, 16 x 100accelerate/100ez. Similar to my last post. Felt good.

Sat/Sun - Great weekend, we got up early on Sat. and went up North, just west of Glacier and just west of Polebridge. Beautiful country, right on the North Fork of the Flathead River. One of the Flycoons had a birthday camping weekend and we joined them for a day. Drove by beautiful Flathead Lake. And got up to the destination ~3 pm. Just hung out and had a bunch of fun on the river. The ended with a bonfire. And of course, frisbees through the fire. Good times. On Sunday, we got up, had some food, packed up and went through Glacier on a recommendation from our friend DaveO. I am so glad we did. We hung out in Apgar Village on Lake McDonald. Even though we were there for only 3 hours or so, it was well worth. It is just gorgeous up there. I highly recommend it. Got home late on Sunday,but it was worth it. I even got a run in when we got home. ~25 minutes. I was inspired to wear my new shoes.

Fri - Got ready to go camping. Did buy some new shoes, the Nike Air Milers were half off. My legs are very thankful.

Thu - 6 x (100/200), 30 seconds between reps, 90 seconds between sets. 100s were in the 13s, 200s were 32/33. I felt good again. My last 200 was my 2nd fastest, so I took that as a good sign.

Wed - I forget

Tue - Practice, I felt really good at this practice. There was a lot of lightning early, so we waited that out. And eventually had enough to play some frisbee. I don't remember much though. I threw some hucks that were completed that is about it.

....

Thats all for now.

I was kind of hoping you'd come to Kleinman. But it looks like you are saving the travel for the big shots at ECC.
