Turf to blame for opposition's failure
I saw a lot of chatter over at Big Soccer etc where people are claiming the SKC guys "cramping" was due to the turf and the "poor" surface at Empire...
Correct me if I'm wrong, I always find that Turf is hard on joints and the back/hips, as it has no give, but surely cramps are a muscle issue, and i find that the give in a natural surface is actually easier on joints but harder on muscles, in that you have that extra give with the dirt moving with each stride, which theoretically means more motion for the muscles. (I'm no human kinetics degree holder!)
Clearly the falling all over the place for SKC was a lack of hydration/fitness thing or time wasting, and not due to Turf per se.
Am I wrong about the turf/grass? (keep in mind I'm an FVSL D2 mucker that isn't exactly "fit")
