floorball madness
on wed night, just as i was about to switch off my lousy laptop and go to sleep, my brother came to me and asked if i was available for a floorball match on thursday morning. since i had planned to exercise anyway, i thought i’d give it a go. my brother needed a replacement for his team mate who couldn’t make it at the last minute; i warned him though, cos i have never played floorball in my entire life, and anything remotely close was hockey in PE class back in my JC days (7 years ago now). so ok, just go for the workout, and see how things go.
the match turned out to be a tournament which lasted from 11 till about 4 plus. i had no idea what was going to happen, just went in when needed and played my heart out. we originally had 7 people in our team; 6 players and 1 substitute, but i heard one of our star players went over to help another team who suddenly had a shortage of players. so there we were, with no subs, playing game after game. 2 games were played with only 1 game’s length to rest in between, then a very long break, then we played. we won all 3 of our league games, going on to the semi-finals. we fought to a draw in the semis and went on to penalties, which we won. then RIGHT AFTER THAT was the finals and we were all exhausted already! fought to a 2-1 loss and my team mates were really unhappy about the way the opponent played during the finals.
you can’t win all the time. but i must say, my team really has loads of fighting spirit. just look at their team sheet: with me on the list, it’s gonna be tough. haha. i played with soccer tactics and pure enthusiasm; i must be the least technically achieved but most irritating player on the court. i didn’t think of anything but to just disturb (keep trying to tackle, and not any other methods you might be thinking about :P) the opponent whenever they get possession. there was only one good goalscorer from our team and the rest also just played with their hearts. so i think that getting to the finals was really a huge huge reward for our team 
and then i began to feel the effects on fatigue.
my body is now aching all over due to my crazy workout yesterday. i could hardly walk properly! i guess i must really admit, my stamina isn’t that good. and perhaps i shouldn’t have pushed myself so hard during the tournament! but i was determined not to let the team down lah. now i’m wondering if i’ll be ok later; gotta meet dear in tiong bahru. haha. my poor muscles!
when i recover i want to start training. time for IPPT again
