Today, it was off to a tournament for Zoe. The Folsom Summer Challenge was this weekend. I made it back in time for yesterday's second game which they pulled out with a tie. This morning, they faced AR who is a solid team. They beat us 2-1 but our girls played well and given that they last time we played them, we lost 9-0, we chose to celebrate our improvement. However, second game, we could not put it together. It was hot and the girls had given it their all in the first game. We lost 1-0. Tough loss because technically, we should have beaten them. Our girls were tired and made a lot of mistakes that Folsom Storm capitalized on.
I was Assistant Coach. I gave it my all, but I did not have a lot in the tank either. I felt for the athletes out on the field. I wasn't sore in the usual sense. I was just gassed metabolically. All my cells are screaming for nutrients and my mitochondria are done. Oh how I wish I were 25....However, at 46, recovery just takes longer. I'm eating my protein and drinking my fluids. Sleep is restless at best which is a sure sign I am all jacked up. Now, I just have to wait until I bounce. I'm really hoping we don't do forms this week. My legs are tired and I anticipate that my kicks and stances will suck. Hoping for ground work.
