I worked 17 games this week. And I have whatever new upper respiratory crud that's going around, which for me is manifesting in a lot of sinus congestion, but also a continued raspy voice. The high chest congestion that was impacting my voice intermittently is still clinging, but has gotten a lot better.
Do I feel OK about my fitness with this ridiculous number of games I've worked in the past few weeks? Yes. Yes, I do. I think we are done with weekend games at this point, and I "only" have 8 games this week and then 6 games the following week before heading down for PW.
Leaving for PW in itself is going to be an....interesting(?) feat in itself. Boys basketball post-season tournament games start next week on Monday. We have games both Monday and Wednesday nights. I fly out on Thursday morning on a 6:30am flight. Our game on Wednesday night is just over 2 hours away (assuming good road conditions) and starts at 7pm. We figure a game takes about 90min, then time for us to change back into street clothes, and grab food somewhere along the way home. Ideally we'll be home by around 11pm. But if anything weird happens during our game (overtime, any sort of medical event, or like yesterday where someone got a bloody nose and it took over 10min to get all of the spots found and cleaned up) or the game before it'll immediately get pushed back. I'll need to be at the airport by around 5:30 (it's tiny, and I'm not checking a bag) which means leaving the house by 4:45. Yaaaaaay! Less than 5 hours of sleep! Choosing to NOT sign up for the challenge is seeming like a better idea all the time.
