Sports overdrive

The combination of Ultimate Worlds, Olympics and, less impressively, an important match in my local ultimate league has put me on a sports overdrive.
WUGC (World Ultimate and Guts Championships) took place last week and I’ve been following the blogs, webcasts and pictures religiously.

A simple and sneaky play..

Firstly, I thought you’d like to know that this is an entirely ultimate related post and it will be very boring and confusing if you don’t play the sport.

A few more things.

I was initially intending to write several posts in a row. But I don’t think I will do that now. Which is odd. I decided I would do it from the time I finished my pizza. I was thinking about each different blog entry as I was showering, while I was writing the previous entry [...]

Ah crud.
Also, I think I win the who ate the most unhealthy [...]

More ultimate

Tonight was another pretty good game. Not particularly memorable but definitely enjoyable.
Anyway, the real reason I’m blogging is just so I remind myself [...]

Just in case I forget

I want to have a record of my favourite frisbee games, lest I forget.
1. Quarter finals of winter NSL against Numchuckas (might’ve been funchuckas). One of the guys started cheering and that really pushed the intensity up a few notches. We definitely would’ve have won if he hadn’t. I think that was the best game [...]

bleh

I actually wrote this last night. But my computer and my internet were being a bitch to me. They took turns hurting my feelings….
It didn’t occur to me when I blogged the last time but I realised that I just had an extreme day.
I slept at 3am last night, woke up at 930, studied [...]

Frisbee dictionary and culture entry 01: field

Started at Mel’s insistence (and also because I’ve actually lain in bed for hours thinking about what I would write before Mel wrote hers)
Field:
A marked out playing area in which the game takes place.
As a general rule, imagine a matchbox-shaped rectangle divided into fifths. The two opposing fifths are the end zones – the region [...]

To the one person who knows what I’m talking about:

I’m glad I went for hills today

What I’ve been doing for the past couple of days..

I am smashed. And I think my body’s broken.
