The power of peanut butter

After not getting back to Presque Isle until nearly midnight Tuesday, I braced myself for a long day, in which I was scheduled to travel to Dyer Brook to interview the Southern Aroostook girls in the morning, stop by and chat with the Caribou cross country teams.
I woke up at 7:30, armed with 5 hours of sleep, headed to breakfast, and came back to my suite to discover that the Warriors had the day off after playing a game Monday afternoon, so that enabled me to grab another hour of sleep and get a workout in.
After grabbing lunch, I headed to Caribou around 2:30 to chat with their cross country teams. I kind of felt bad for them, since temperatures were in the 90's and they were slated for a speed workout (being a runner, I know how that feels), and after I finished those interviews up, I headed back to the Valley to catch one of northern Maine's best soccer rivalries, Madawaska and Fort Kent.
Normally, when you go to the Valley, even in August, its essential to bring warm clothes, as I found out the hard way last summer, but it had been in the 90's all week, so my hoodie stayed in the car, and after a stop at Subway, I headed over to the field.
I should've known this was going to be a high-scoring, entertaining game as Roxy Pelletier put the host Warriors on the board about 5 minutes into the match, and she scored again right before halftime.
This game turned out to be the Roxy Pelletier show, as she scored all four goals in a 4-0 Fort Kent victory.
Toward the end of the game, Pelletier was standing in front of the small dugout where the announcer and I were, waiting to check in, and he asked what she had for breakfast, and she replied a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Now, as we all know, that is packed with protein, and its something I usually eat before bed to load up for BodyPump practices or classes, so it was quite obvious a reference to that was going in the lead of the story.
I managed to get everything filed before 9 this time, since there was no overtime or anything, and after grabbing a burger, hit the road and didn't see any moose (again, thankfully), en route to Presque Isle. Only one more day in the County, and it would turn out to be an amazing one!
