I hurt .... ALL OVER!

Thanks for all the helpful information.

Surprisingly, I felt pretty good on Sunday morning. I was assigned four games for Sunday, but gave up the last one to an umpire that was between games and didn't want to just sit around until his final game started.

This was an 8U tournament, PU only. Coaches did not pitch. The kids were limited to one base on a steal and home plate was cold. 5 innings or 1.5 hours, whichever came first. All the games, except of the very last one, went to 1.5 hours. 15 minuts between games.

I think a lot of the fatigue was from trying to get down so low. I adjusted my stance a bit on Sunday and felt better. Of course the heat was a big factor. 90+ degrees yesterday (hotter on the field I'm sure). The temp. must have been a special arrangement just to make sure that I really want to be an umpire because we are back to our usual 70 degrees today.
