33 (or so) of Springfield’s finest soccer athletes enjoyed marvelous weather this first day of July on their journey from Maumee’s Side Cart Metropark to Perrysburg’s Fort Meigs and back.
Silver Lake was the starting point, where they primed their muscles with a dynamic warmup and a series of runs up the sledding hill. The number of runs was determined by Coach Taylor and Coach Sloan taking turns rolling a die – they managed to roll a five and a six for a total of eleven – good going coaches!
The run itself (for those who actually ran) went pretty well – but we did lose two participants to illness. And of course there were a few wrong turns here and there along the way … including on the way back which I still haven’t wrapped my head around. The final capstone event will take place at the end of the month, just before tryouts.
