this weekend totally kicked my ass. starting with friday i went to bed at 7pm to wake up at 1am. i was picked up by my brother at 2am and we drove to the trailhead for longs peak. started hiking by 3am in the morn with our headlamps. did a technical route the mountain in winter conditions (yeah its winter up there already at 14,000 ft) and summited around 10am. headed down and reached the car about 3:30pm. i was pretty much doing the "death march" during the last 5 miles of the hike. whole climb was over 5,000 vertical feet and 14 miles round trip. that def kicked my ass. so i basically passed out for the night when i got back into town. and oh, from the climb, i got a black and blue toe that hurts like a mofo, does this mean my toenail will eventualy fall off?
so i slept in for the first time in many weeks on sunday and played lacrosse in the afternoon (this was like my first lacrosse game in so long) with a town league that i signed up for. and damn, and i mean damn, my team sucks. i have never been on a team this awful before. like, almost all the lacrosse players are ex-lax players (kinda like me i guess) and there really arent any current active players on my team. basically that means they just picked up their lacrosse stick for the first time in months and probably years. and i see that all the other teams have really good, active, and young players. mine is the just opposite. i dunno if this is gonna help me become a better player at all. my team sucks that bad. now considering that i said my team is bad, which definately means i got my ass kicked. wootage.
