Philly Phoenix Tryout #2

Phoenix Tryouts

Drove up to Jersey through the sleet with McGoogan to attend Philly Phoenix tryouts. Did my thing, moved the disc quickly and distributed well, but also threw a couple miscalibrated forehands and one abysmally bad hammer. Played mostly tight defense, felt fast but began to lose steam by the end. Not quite in indoor shape, but still a few weeks before I begin conditioning in earnest. Overall a good tryout.

DC Tryout, Alumni Scrimmage

4 hour combined tryout with Truck and Doe. Hadn't played in six full weeks, felt real rusty and had several drops. Physically felt fine, was able to move the disc and do some good things, play close if not stellar defense. Was glad for the chance to get those reps in before heading to beach nationals next weekend.

Had a great time at the first annual Justice alumni scrimmage, too. Suited up for the alumni, caught a few swilly throws for scores and only had two turns that I can remember. Overall a fun full day of frisbee before heading to the DC United game.

Prior to tryouts: 10cal assault bike in 1:28, 20min SMR, 10-20-30-40-50 double-unders with rest.

Mostly made it through the warmup and throwing portion of tryouts before the deluge came in; we played some mini through that but, eventually, lightning drove us from the fields.

Tryout x2

Up at 3am. Eleven or twelve of these days, never actually needed the alarm because I can never really fall asleep beforehand. My ride to tryouts missed his alarm, though, so we showed up late. Got into the drills, scrimmages, one-on-one battles, more scrimmages. Did well. Threw a bunch of goals. Maintained my footwork. Proved improvement. Learned that earning "it" was not something that I could really do today.

Had breakfast, sipped some coffee, thought about some things, stopped thinking about some things.

Got to the second tryout early. Very. Rolled out, SMR'ed, threw around, threw up a little bit in my mouth, warmed up. Played like a player. Was tired, but did good things. We'll see what happens.
