Alumni Rugby

     Last Saturday was the UNC RFC Alumni match.  Since I no longer play for the club, I decided to play against my old mates.  I am unsure of the final score, but the old boys kicked the crap out of this years DI team.  I played my usual role as a rucker and supporter, but I also took advantage of the few crashes that I took.  If I would have tried a move or two rather than dropping my shoulder and crashing into pack I may have even scored.  Lets face it though, crashing is way more.
     The match was a great way to mix up training by staying active without logging a lot of miles and time.  The only problem was I participated in the activities that are generally associated with post match rugby.  The singing and hanging out with my old mates (over numerous pints and bazookas of course) was a great time, but I sacrificed two or three training opportunities to do so. 
     The next day was a little rough, so the brick workout that I had planned prior to golfing with my outlaws never happened.  The golf did, and it took me two or three holes and lots of water to actually recover.  I think the match was a great reminder why I have been avoiding drinking.  I just need to keep that in mind the next time I think I can keep up with my old ways.
