Knee deep into NHL playoffs. Who would have thunk Buffalo would go out in 4 straight and Anaheim would be down 2 - 1 to Detroit? Not me. But this is what makes you play the games right?
I signed up for Tuesday night shinny hoping to improve on my skating thinking we'd see 7 or 8 guys a side! Not 3 or 4 ... Sigh.
Well, there I am with my group of 7 (no not the painters) and we have 60 minutes of ice time on Tuesday night. Me thinks I should really warm up for this session. So I spent the first 5 minutes doing laps and then about 7 minutes light stretching when I realize I am going to be in trouble for this 3 on 3 game. I recommend going half or 3/4 ice but the younger (and and in better shape players) poo poo this idea and decide for the full length of the arena :(
We start and the first 5 minutes are OK but, well, after 20 minutes or so we are all sucking wind but with lots of gliding (I love skates for this) and we are eventually able to make it through the hour. (and only one ass plant in the wet corner of ice - did I mention it was 28 Celsius yesterday and the ice took a while to freeze after the flood).
Today I feel pretty good except for some back pain, gotta keep up with the core work out and work on my abs...
Congrats to Tri Guy and his PB in the half marathon in Mississauga those past weekend, Keep up the work bro it is paying off!
