A standard Saturday

I really had a fantastic time this last saturday, and I was sooooo tired after just the first part of the day, what follows is a timeline:

8:00 AM - Arrive at the gym, start running on the treadmill, do 2.5 miles
8:30 AM - Begin helping teach the UCSD wrestling team practice, we focused on catch wrestling stuff and then went live.
9:30 AM - Help Cosmoe (fighter getting ready for a fight in a couple weeks) work through some wrestling technique, wrestled live (the most fun).
10:05 AM- Try not to stare at girl I think is really attractive who's waiting in the lobby area (I don't do well at this)
10:15 AM - Went up to the sauna to try and get some blood into Cosmoe's aching elbows
10:45 AM - Did a crossfit workout with Cosmoe that focused solely on legs since we wanted to rest aching elbow joints, this consisted of:
5 rounds
25 Box jumps/Lunges with weight while the other person completes the box jumps
15 hamstring extensions each leg with weight (unquestionably the worst part and the reason I'm most sore today)
25 Squat jumps
11:30 AM - Cool down with shoulder stretches.
12:00 PM - Return home and shower
12:30 PM - Ride bike to Pacific Beach boardwalk with roomate, set-up and play beach volleyball in the sun. I need to practice more.
4:00 PM - Legs completely shot from playing volleyball after workouts, bike ride home and shower
4:30 PM - Throw in a load of laundry and do some work at home.
5:45 PM - realize that one of the neighbors kids opened the door to the dryer I was using, I have to wait to finish this load before I go anywhere as I don't have any clean underwear.
6:05 PM - Drive over to Cory's house, pick-up Cory and drive to Balboa Park for MMA fights, Total Combat 34.
6:35 PM - Arrive at Balboa, Park next to the zoo parking lot, get told that our hook-up can't get us in for free like previously discussed.
6:45 PM - Cory, Dave and I take our seats in the outdoor arena, the fights aren't supposed to start for 45 minutes. As time goes by more folks from Throwdown take seats around us.
8:15 PM - Fights start, 45 minutes late, I just now realize I've had literally no solid food all day.
9:45 PM - Cory, Dave, Lou, and I all leave after watching Mark win his fight, we head downtown to Basic for pizza, after waiting for a table we get seated and I devour the salad and pizza, it tastes amazing but considering it was the first thing I ate all day that's not too much of a surprise.
11:00 PM - Head over to Hard Rock on the way we see a guy in a full Superman outfit, Lou knows the bouncer so we skip the line and get right in. I try to start dancing but my body is too tired to really do much.
11-2AM - Shenanagins, eventually my legs loosen up after I keep stretching. Girls is crazy, I don't drink because I'm so tired and driving. Some asian guy threatens Cory because his "girlfriend" tries to molest Cory.
2:40 AM - Arrive home after driving Cory home, I watch the Shaq comedy special, it's hilarious. After about an hour I try and fall asleep.

So all in all it was a pretty uneventful saturday.
