He'll probably get time in the FA Cup and whatever the other cup is called these days. I still love the guy.
I just call it the League Cup. That way, I don't have to keep track of the constant title sponsor changes.
First game of the tournament I skipped, and it looks like I picked the wrong one. Pipa chip, and Toronto blows a two-goal, man-up advantage for a draw.
Juuka Raitala just got absolutely dumped on the TFC hat trick goal. Commentator suggested he hit the weight room.
Started watching World's Toughest Race: ECO-Challenge Fiji and on episode 3 they interview as part of Team Curl our very own Steve Lenhart. Team Curl got their name from the fact that all team members have curly hair. They were middle of the table at the time, forty-something out of 66 teams that started.
Yes, it just came up a couple of weeks ago. I just got around to catching up on a few episodes and was met by Goldilocks who mentioned that he was an ex-MLS player for good measure.
Thanks for reminder. For some reason I didn't think it was on yet. I did adventure races (not quite that epic) for several years when my kids were very young and didn't occupy all my weekends with soccer. Now that they are older and transporting themselves, I am trying to get back in shape to be able to get back into it. Watching these crazy hard races motivates me.
It was interesting to watch. Without doing spoilers, one team had all competitors over 62. Another team had a guy who should have been on the first team because that's who he did AR all the time but was with his son on another team because he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a year ago. His son put together a team just to be able to do one race with his Dad. Another team was an Indian team that had twin girls. These girls have done the seven summits but had very little experience in AR. Another team was 4 composed of people who did Ironman competitions including one that did 50 in 50 days in 50 states. Another team had 2 combat veterans discharged from the service due to their injuries. There was Team Curl with a former MLS Champion. There was a team of three Brazilian women with a unique story about the 4th member on the team. There was an all African American team. There was also a Spanish team with a story. Another one from Costa Rica with the woman battling her fears due to something in her past (like the woman on the Ironman team). A father and his two daughters and a father with his son teams. And then there were the Kiwis, the Aussies and a bunch others with interesting approaches to the competition and their own stories. Like I said, a very interesting watch. It's something that I would never be able to accomplish.
I have a HS friend who did 52 marathons in 52 weeks - along with a bunch of other long distance running challenges. So I had to go look to see if he was on a team. I also have a college friend who has done the 7 summits as well as Ironman Hawaii (as a 2 time cancer survivor - with only 1 fully functioning lung!) but I was certain he wasn't on a team because he just led his annual expedition up Mt Kilimanjaro. But if I ever had it in me to give one of these macdaddy's a try, they'd be on my list of people to invite to be on the team.
Oh an don't sell yourself short. I took one on my college buddies on his first mt bike ride 15 or so yrs ago. He was completely out of shape and complained the entire time and had to stop constantly to catch his breath. He now rides 4-5 days per week and has done the Breck Epic (look it up) a couple times. I on the other hand have done almost the complete opposite since that day. But that was because I raised 3 kids and he has none. I'm hopeful I can slowly get back to where I can now ride with him.
I usually do well with things where my legs come into play. Once we go with arm strength, forget it. That and my current age with years of not doing much but walking a lot tells me I might make it to the first checkpoint if the rest of the team carries me.
