Sunday Pickup Game (5:1)

Early morning (7:30 AM) Sunday pickup game

I have not run or kicked the ball for exactly one month. Therefore, I was really eager to play football. For most of the game, I ran at a high heart rate (150+), so I ended up with a 4.7/4.4 training effect and an OVERREACHING training status.

But after the match, I felt good. I felt my groin, but since I worked it out a bit during this month's break, it was not as bad as I would have expected.

Note

There were many whites, so I assigned myself to the red team. We scored the first goal after several rebounds. Then we also conceded a goal from Drew, and the halftime score was 1:1. During the first half, I had a few shots at the goalkeeper, one of which was wide. But my overall performance was good.

We switched sides at halftime, and a Mexican guy scored our second goal. Then I had two goals. After the first one, they complained that I kicked it too far. So for the second one, I ran to bring the ball, and a car almost hit me on the road. The white team had many chances, especially Nico. They hit the post two times. At the end, I passed to the Mexican guy for our fifth goal. That put the finishing touch on this match.
