1st full day...

We had a good day yesterday! We headed over to practice at 9:15 and went for about 2 hours and got a lot of shots up (hopefully shoot it better today!) and tried to just get used to our surroundings. PLU has a neat old gym that overlooks a beautiful beach. All their athletic facilities are just set right on the edge of the beach. If you ever had a frustrating day as a coach or player you could go look at this and it puts life back in perspective quickly.

After practice we grabbed some lunch and went to Pacific Beach and messed around for a couple hours. We just walked up and down the boardwalk and took in the scenery. Lee was brave enough to jump in the water and did some "skim" boarding. He certainly is in his element out here at the beach! The other highlight was a skateboard guy knocking over a guy on a bike and the guy meeting the shrubs abruptly! He went over handle bars and into the bushes, but he jumped up and kept riding like nothing happened. We got quite a laugh.

We ate at a great pizza place for dinner then returned to the Town and Country for the evening.

I am so anxious to see how we play today. I hope we can match their toughness and we can make some buckets. I think we will have a great chance if defend them. They are a solid team without great athletes. It will be interesting to see how the game will be called and if we can get comfy out here.

Cross your fingers for us! Go Vikings!!!
