I alluded to it in a previous post, but I spent Sunday in the sand on Alki Beach for the first annual Sounders FC Soccer Beach Blast presented by Super Supplements. The team I was playing for, Ginger Squidge, won the tournament. The sand was really tough to play in and it also cancelled out skill. The team we played in the final really packed it in defensively and just hustled. They weren't really soccer players, which is why I felt confident going into penalty kicks. Check out the video to see more action and an interview with me.

The girls from Doyle's were good. They ran everybody. I was glad that I didn't have to play them. I also chatted with Taylor Graham for a while and he's a really cool guy. Rookies Evan Brown and Mike Fucito were also there to present trophies to the winners.
