Sevens Recap:
The men’s team that I have been practicing with over the summer apparently never entered a 7’s side to the tournament, so I ended up booting up with another team that needed extra players, and played in the first half of one of the games. Ended up getting the ball once for a 25-30 meter gain before getting tackled by the fullback (if I got away from him I would have scored), and chasing down one of the wings that made a linebreak and taking him down. Had to go lighter on the pulling exercises today, since I somehow suffered a minor finger jam in the game, although I’m not quite sure how it happened. Fortunately, it’s only stiff and not severely discolored like how one of my other fingers was last spring from tackling someone, so it should be fully recovered within a few days.

Skipped the grip finisher and deloaded trap work today, since jammed finger was still bugging me. Taking it easy on grip work this week since I have another tournament this saturday and I want my finger jam to at least be 85% recovered before saturday.
