I play soccer twice a week, on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday nights. Sundays is a co-ed league with my wife, and usually not super competitive. Wednesday nights is a top mens league, and really competitive. Commuting on Mondays isn't a big deal because most of our games are in the afternoon. But all our games are at 9 or 10pm on Wednesdays, and I find that I have a hard time getting myself to commute on Wednesdays and Thursdays. If I ride on Wednesday I feel like I have no "legs" for my soccer game that night. Then on Thursdays, not only do I have a hard time getting up in the morning, but my legs feel tired and weak.
I really enjoy playing soccer, but I also enjoy riding to work and want to ride on a more consistent basis. Maybe I just need to get into better shape by just doing it, then it will become routine.
Do any of you play any sports and still commute?
Do you commute on the day-of or day after you play?
What have you done that helps? or do you just not commute on those days?
Any advice would be great.
