The football season is winding down. Only one regular season game left. Then we have the playoffs.
The Portland Raiders have officially made it to the playoffs. The team was 0-10 a year ago, but we are now 6-3 with one more game to go. In all honesty, we should be at least 7-2, probably even 8-1.
So I have at least two more tackle football games before I can jump headlong into other athletic endeavors (endurance training?).
I am surprisingly healthy considering I have played almost all of the offensive snaps for the Portland Raiders (I missed one game due to back and neck pain, and had to sit down one play in one game after a guard and defensive tackle fell into my knee). My back and neck are sore, but I do believe these are small injuries that will heal with time and rest. I was worried about my hands, wrists and fingers getting banged up and sprained because I play on the offensive line, but they're not too bad. I was also worried about my knees because I hurt my knees back in high school, but everything is fine.
While I really am enjoying my time playing football, I am also looking forward to getting into triathlon training. I don't think I'll be breaking any world records or capturing the attention of sponsors, but for some unknown reason I really do believe I can do a pretty good job at triathlons.
We shall see in a couple of weeks when I'm able to concentrate on the training.
