Sunday, I was back at it again for the second day of the
ultimate Frisbee tournament. The day started off foggy. Even
when the fog burned off, it wasn’t quite as warm, although when we were running
around on the field, it felt just as warm.
We lost a member of the team or two, so we had fewer subs,
which meant I wound up playing more on Sunday than I did on Saturday. Its
times like this I’m so thankful I run because I could do that. 10
years ago, I don’t think I could have played like I did.
We lost the first game of the day, which cemented us in the
bottom bracket, and we then played two consolation games. We won
both of those! While ultimate Frisbee is always fun, it is certainly
more fun when you win. That first game was my favorite since there
were three guys on the team I could keep up with, meaning I wasn’t outmatched
on defense.
It also meant I was getting open quite a bit on Sunday as
well. Sadly, I didn’t do much better passing it on. I do
so much better at pick up. I guess I get more nervous when it counts
for something, and I throw the disc behind the person. Still, it was
great to be part of the action and even better to win a couple of games.
We finished 9th out of 12 teams. Not quite as
good as the two years I was on back to back winning teams, but better than
12th. I’ll take it.
