Ran two miles and went to the gym again today. Did tri's, back, a little abs, and leg machines, just to get back into shape so I can do squats this summer. I've eaten sooo much protein today. And I'm about to pound a shake. Settin' the pace.
Saw Sam at the gym. He does a lot of yoga, and thinks it'd be really good for our team. I completely agree. I'll start doing yoga with him next year to get flexible and loose, and maybe make the team do some.
Day two: check.

End of Season - Start of Summer
We got 8th at Sectionals, after losing to Oxy on Saturday (8-11) and coming back and smashing them on Sunday (11-0, 15-3). At Regionals we went up on Santa Barbara in the first game 11-8, and then proceeded to get scored on 0-5 for the loss. We pretty much crumpled after that.
We weren't in good enough shape, weren't disciplined enough, and hadn't put in enough work. That was evident. Arizona, who did everything right, didn't make nationals. That's saying something, and setting quite a standard.
Tommy, Reed, and I are the captains for next year. I'm overjoyed to finally have some captain support. We had a team meeting today to talk about next year and this summer. We basically just said next year is our shot at nationals, but we have to work like crazy. We're going to all do CATZ all of next year, in addition to other workouts and practices, but this summer is critical. The captains are going to send out weekly emails with the workouts for the week. We want everyone to be lifting, primarily, and doing some fast-twitch muscle workouts too.
Personally, I need to gain weight like a motherfucker this summer. I didn't get that internship I wanted, so I'll have more time to devote to ultimate. I think I'll spend a lot of time lifting, hopefully a lot of time throwing, and a decent amount of time running. Fortunately, Sam is now a captain at Oberlin, so we'll get to talk strategy all the time, and we can train together. Potlatch is going to be sick.
That's the update, hopefully I keep this bugger more updated this summer.
Yours,
Riles
