Event: "O" in the Pines A meet
 

I got to the event at 10:50. After walking around a little bit I was cold so I was getting a ball cap out of the car when I did something to my back. All my back muscles were spasming. I couldn't sit or stand. Here I was with 50 minutes until I start and I couldn't move. The spasming stopped after about 10 minutes as long as I didn't move. I managed to get an ibuprofen which eventually helped. With 15 minutes before my start I was able sit up with difficulty. With 10 minutes I could walk to the bathroom and was able to get my stuff. I shuffled to the start and got there about a minute before my call up. I hadn't stretched and wasn't sure I could move. Neddless to say I wasn't in the competitive mode. I was able to amble along and my muscles did loosen up. The footing was so bad that I was being very careful about where I stepped. I did twist my ankle several times even being very careful.
I made several large mistakes (mostly because I was more worried about my back then where I was going. Nonetheless, I am not unhappy with how I did given my condition. Hopefully tomorrow it will magically heal or at least allow me to run more normally.

Saturday - Middle Red - Splits

Traffic was heavy so I got there late. The team won the game I didn't play 26-24. We lost the 2nd and 3rd game. The third game was close. We lost 26-24.

We played the same team we lost last week 7-2. This time they were missing some players and we were able to hold out own. It was 3-3 at half. Then we score one up to make it 4-3. With three minutes to go they scored to tie it up again. With 1.5 minutes, I made an awesome pass leading to the winning score. We won 5-4. I also scored one of our earlier goals. It was good night.

Rt 175 + Severn Road.

Just another normal run.
