Paganello Practice

Met up with some of the Melons headed off to Paga in 3 weeks along with some of the Melons of prior years to start getting used to playing with each other again at Athlete's Advantage in Conshy.

Workout:

Warm up

Watch Trey and my inability to complete a successful Mahler due to our bottom heavyness.

Run through plays
Run plays live 5 on 5
Play a bunch of games to 5.

I think this was really, really good for us. We started off playing kind of over aggressive indoor ultimate and eventually brought it back to chilly consistent Melons offense. What is Melons offense you might ask? Possibly the most boring offense you've ever watched that's ruthlessly efficient and grinds away at teams in order to score. Its incredibly effective at Paganello where the sand is deeper than anything you've ever played on and your legs burn out very, very early in points. We're still working the rust off, and it will of course be a whole other experience to not be able to run with cleats in three weeks in Italy but this was a good start. I hope to start tailoring my workouts more towards explosive quickness and lots of leg work in the next few weeks to help prepare for Paga.

On to Paga '09
Alea Iacta Est!
There is no way back.
