The Return of Rugby

Filed under: Uncategorized

Unfortunately I only have time to put out a quick one today as I have class and thesis work all day. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be awesome!

As you may know I was a rugby player in a past life, and a decent one at that. Unfortunately I have not played the wonderful sport in 3 full years. This weekend however I had an opportunity to play with a bunch of my old UMaine teammates at an indoor 7′s tournament, so I jumped at it.

I have to say, that 3 year layoff definitely did not improve my skill set! While I felt pretty fit, it was definitely difficult to get my bearings and get back into the flow of the game. The instincts certainly were not where they used to be, but it was a blast none the less. They are aiming to make this an annual tournament, and I hope they do.

I think I might try to bulk up a little for it next year, as I can definitely feel the difference in play now that I am down to 195, as I play my best indoor rugby probably around 215, though I don’t ever plan on getting there again! Maybe get to 200-205, but who knows.

Anyway, it was definitely awesome to play with my old teammates again, as well to hit some people and get hit. It makes you feel so alive!
