Hockey
We were playing the first place team and it was a close team. We controlled the first period and built up a 4-2 lead but started to lag in the second period. Our opponents didn't have any ringers but were solid and kept up a good pace. We eventually tired and they came back, tying it 4-4 by the end of the second period.
The third period was close but they scored a powerplay goal to make it 5-4 and then added an empty net goal to win 6-4.
I had an okay game. I was finally back playing center and while I had a few decent chances I didn't score. I was also tiring out in the third which was frustrating but overall the game was still fun. It was competitive without getting dirty.

Conditioning
Did a 5 minute warm-up and then jogged 5k in 33:15. Average HR was 133. I had to keep slowing down to keep my HR under 140. Definitely a bit slower than I was in the Fall. However this is still 4 minutes faster than I was at the start of 2018. Back then i dropped 5 minutes off of my 5k time between Jan and June so if I can drop 4-5 minutes again this year I'll be under 30 minutes easily by the Spartan Sprint

Walked/jogged for 5 minutes and then did 25 minutes of intervals. 40 seconds on (8.7 mph), 80 seconds off (3.0 mph). Tried a more intense run with a longer walk today. I accidentally left my Fitbit running for an hour after the gym so I'm sure of my exact HR. Average was around 135, peak about 155. I could definitely go a bit faster for the running part, it's just a matter of getting used to running faster on the treadmill.
Chins: Did a pyramid up and down from 1->4->1 etc totaling 35 reps.
I'm doing some reorganizing in my basement so I'm hoping to make a small space to do dumbbell workouts so I can fit in some upper body work and stick to treadmill, squats/deads, and chins at the actual gym.
