Advice from Ross

Here's some advice from Ross that I, personally, would do well to heed:
Conditioning is Not Enough

To quote what's already been quoted:
“To perform any physical feat with grace and dexterity, the human being must practice and practice to achieve relaxation of uninvolved muscles." - Dr. Bradley
The nickle version is that, while strenuous workouts are great and all-around fitness is important, you can go overboard and adversely effect your performance in the sport for which you are training. If you want to train for Ultimate and want to improve your Ultimate skills, you absolutely need to play Ultimate and practice the skills that you will need. Being in great shape does not mean you can throw well.

Good point-- throwing is all about great genes.

Genes? I thought you preferred board shorts??!!

ps - Pick-up Saturday is supposedly starting at noon since many of us have exciting things to do Saturday evening.

pps - Did you ever get Tim to set you up to receive emails when folks post comments here? Coz I ain't seen shit!

I did set that up for Dusty and can set it up for you as well (and anyone else who wants it for that matter)
