Not as fit as I thought I was
So I thought I was pretty fit. I mean, I can run a 10km in under 60 minutes, and I can hike for days straight. But apparently I suck at field hockey now. After not playing for 2 years, I am completely out of shape for the sport. It blows my mind that I used to be so fast and so skilled. And I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to at least get back to my old self.
The thing is, I know skill-wise, I’m above average. Sure, I’m a little rusty, but not that rusty. It’s my lack of fitness is my problem. And the fact that all we did was mini scrimmage games, which highlights my crappy fitness level and hides my skill on the smaller field. Plus, I’m the only completely new person tryout out for the club (the few other new people are from other clubs in Vancouver), so it will be hard to break onto a team and bump someone.
I’m hoping tonight at the last night of tryouts, we do skills instead of more scrimmages. I’ll be put on a team regardless, but perhaps not the team I want to make.

I don't think anyone is really ever as fit as they think they are. :) It is awesome that you are always trying to do better. Good luck tonight! I hope you make the team you want!

your explosive speed will come back pretty quickly. Hockey is actually pretty anerobic, it's all sprint stop, sprint stop, sprint stop. Maybe you should add some interval training to your running?
