Day started with Luke's 7am hockey game and ended with Nate's 10:30pm hockey game (which ended just about midnight). They both won, Nate's team, 1-0, with a goal scored with 91 seconds left. In between, we hosted a party for Luke's hockey team for close to 40 people (a facility record, I believe).

But the highlight of the day was seeing Chelsea play in the Monroe County Senior All-Star game. She saved one of her best performances for last, pulling down 11 rebounds and playing outstanding D against some of the best players around. And she chipped in 5 points. A great way to end her basketball career. It's too bad her school team didn't have a fraction of the floor vision and teamwork that these girls did when coming together for just one night.

3rd time's the charm - my third attempt to swim this week and first time in the water.

21 min of Random Hills-14 @ 85rpm. Level 14 turned out to be too difficult today - not sure if it was because I had just been swimming, or because the random workout had 7 spikes on it, and only about 5 low columns. Probably a little of both.

First day of track practice for me - I'm helping out about twice per week this season. My achilles was too sore to run. After practice, I went straight to Luke's hockey game and after that, I was far too hungry to go to the Y. After eating, I was far too full to go to the Y. It would not be hard to get fat.

Tried to swim at lunch, but the pool was closed, so I went to the Penfield Y between Luke and Nate's hockey tournament games (both are playing in the Webster Boulter tourney this weekend) - they both won (Luke's team for just the second time this year) and Luke recorded a goal and an assist, for his first career multi-point game, I think.

21 min Random Hills-13 @ 94rpm
2 min @ 11
10 min Manual @ 89rpm (3 lights at 11,12,13,12,13,12,11)
2 min @ 10

20 min on the Random setting, then 20 min on the Cardio setting with a HR target of 140 - it took 13 minutes to make it up there as the machine was slow in increasing resistance and my first shot at this machine meant I wasn't quite coordinated enough to turnover too quickly.

5 min w/dn until the Sabres, already down 2-0, picked up a penalty late in the 2nd, so it was time to go. I made the mistake of having Chelsea TiVo the remainder for me - the Sabres are running out of time to make the playoffs.

Too busy to head over for a swim at lunchtime, then went straight from work to Zach's 7pm concert, etc.

No time to swim at lunch, so a day off to rest the achilles was the result.

HR was 45 this AM, after being 43 last night (despite having played hockey until 9pm. I guess I had a rough night.

What can one say, but Yowsa!

30 minutes first thing to get 2 cars out, 10 minutes to finish up. All things considered, the toughest effort of the season.

Stuck in the middle at Bayview, so too much effort was expended avoiding the wide and slow swimmers on the outsides.

Achilles seems to be quite a problem. Note to self: Day 1.

Zamboni League at TCIA. Practice session featured some work on saucer passes, which went surprisingly well for my partner and me.

I think the game was 2-2 - like the Sabres of late, we blew a 2-goal lead. We only had 9 skaters and the Black team only had 10, so there was plenty of ice time. The skate seemed to hold the area around my achilles in place, so it wasn't any more sore while skating hard than while just walking around.
