Brumfis Pickup

With decent weather prevailing and the first of the spring tournaments rapidly approaching, several Pikes old and new put in guest appearances at pickup this Saturday. Rutgers even fielded a solid squad despite the start of Spring Break (Woohoo!!), though they were pretty elitist as Glenn refused to catch any goals thrown to him by anyone other than Frenchy.

Longest commuting award goes to Raph who came in all the way from Geneva just for pickup. Honorable mention to Tim, Dusty, Jon, Ellis, Ross, B-Lo from Philly.

Workout included a brief trail run, 2 muscle-ups, 5 x hill sprints, ~2 hours of pick-up, ~1 hour of Durango Boot, and ~1 hour of tasty Mexican food.

Light Cardio

A week of ultimate, partying and not sleeping has caught up with me in the form of cold. I'll count it as a minor victory that I made it to the gym, but the workout I put in was pretty lame. Let's just say I'm savin' up for pickup tomorrow.

¿Podria traernos unas cervezas y tapas por favor?

Mel, Raph, Mere and I strolled about central Madrid seeing the sights, tasting the dried ham, and hanging out with Mutton!

Chalex Baguettes

Woke up this morning and went for a nice long walk into France to buy baguettes (how awesome is that!?). After a nice relaxing start, the rest of the day was devoted to touring Laussane, Montreux and Gruyères. There was quite a bit of walking involved, but I fear it all went towards partially counteracting the massive cheese feast that ensued in Gruyères.

Swiss Vineyards and Geneva's Old Town

Spent several hours strolling through the endless vineyards that surround Raph & Mere's house and then touring Geneva's lakefront and the winding roads of Geneva's olde towne.
