Hills/New Brunswick Pick-up

I headed out to the fields a little early today in order to get in some hills before pick-up.

Hill Workout:

~.5 mile @ ~8mph
5 x 10 second hill sprints, rest was walking backing down the hill backwards (good idea from Hillis)
~.25 mile @ ~8.5mph (felt good, so I picked up the pace a bit on the return trip)
some active stretching

2nd Warm-up:

some short-distance throwing while waiting for numbers
~.5 @ 7.5mph (joined the late-comers for their warm-up jog)
some more stretching
15:00 throwing

NB Pick-up:

2-2.5 hours of Pick-up which consisted of a lot of Mini followed by a little Durango Boot
15:00 throwing

Despite small numbers, pick-up ended up being even more competitive and fun than usual. With 8 club players in attendance, there were plenty of challenging match-ups and lots of quality play.
