Oww!
I am so sore today, after yesterday's ultimate game. Two hours of running around chasing a frisbee in the heat sure hurts afterward. Probably the occasional wipe outs don't help things. And we lost again (although only 13-10 which was better than the 21-11 last week). We were down 10-3 by half time, and then got 5 in a row to make it 10-8, after which things went back to more even resulting in 13-10.
We were playing probably the best team in our little league of 6 teams, but neither team had very many players show up so we were rather short on substitutes. I think in general our team is outrun by most of the other teams, but we still put in a good effort.
We also need to work on not throwing the disc away so much. No point playing good defense and forcing a turnover just to thrown it away on the first or second pass again. That just causes too much extra running without at least getting points rewarding it.
Being my second year playing, I think I am doing pretty good. My passes are usually good, and my catches not too bad if I manage to get to the disc in time. My running is too slow, and I don't have enough endurance either. I seem to have a natural ability to make the disc go far and fairly straight, although I seem to have caused many sore fingers when people try to catch some of my passes.
Well it's fun at least. So does anyone else want to come join us next year or for pickup games starting in august when the league games end? It's good exercise.
