Surviving The Gundersen Cup

You know you're not 16 anymore, when your pre game warm up includes:
jacking the heat in the car up to 100 degrees and eating a handful of ibuprofen.
Post game you need to nurse wounds round the clock with ibuprofen, ice and elevation. Travis enjoyed playing but two 30 minute halves with few subs was rough on the guys. He says he needs to play more "strategically" now-like he can only give bursts of speed some time so he needs to choose those times wisely. The resident-staff race is tonight.....I think it's going to be a rough week for everyone with a lot more ibuprofen. It's certainly more fun to watch and joke as we age!

I was entertained by one of the spectators shirts:
I came
I played
I conquered.

We were thinking more along the lines of:
I came
I played (sort of)
