I recently played some ultimate frisbee with a few friends. I didn't really warmup at first, but I played for about 45 minutes at a moderate pace which im assuming was sufficient warmup. Eventually though, I went on an all-out sprint and felt a *tiny* pinch in my right quad. I have pulled that quad 3x in the past (about 8 months ago) so I took it very easy for the rest of the game. I have had zero pain since, but im slightly paranoid. I started doing DB lunges in the gym today and felt a tightness in my right quad that I did not feel in my left. I ended any leg work right there. It seems like maximal sprint work triggers it.

The reason I am concerned is that even though it doesnt hurt whatsoever, I am getting together with my old soccer team on friday for a game. I can go real easy during a frisbee game, but our soccer reunions are always much more intensive so I feel like its a pulled quad waiting to happen. I REALLY REALLY do not want to miss out on this 1-2x a year thing...

What should I do from now untill friday (besides rest) if I intend on playing? I would THOROUGLY warmup before playing...but im still paranoid...hoping for a little insight. Thanks.
