The weekend I was out of town was the annual St. Pat’s Hat
ultimate Frisbee tournament. Yes, if I
were in town, I would have played in it, but I had a great time with my family
and don’t regret missing it at all.
But that also means I didn’t miss a weekend of beach
league! I was back in Santa Monica for
the second weekend last Saturday.
Now that we have teams, we will be playing two games each
week. I was there for the first game and
part of the second since I had to leave early to attend a friend’s wedding.
We won the game I was there for, and it looks like we won
the second game handily as well. We were
ahead 4-2 when I left, and I think we may have gotten to 11 without them
scoring again. Yikes, right?
Unfortunately, I was scored on once that first game. I was guarding my guy in the end zone. He started to zig, I went with them, and then
he zagged. Not much I could do about
that.
On the other hand, I did throw a score. We’d gotten a fast break. I was all alone partially down the
field. The guy who picked it up passed
it to me. I could see one of my
teammates running across the end zone with his defender behind him a step or
two. I did have one person from the
other team between me and the end zone, but I was easily able to throw it
around him for the score. It went
perfectly – just as I pictured it in my head.
Since that doesn’t always happen, that made me really happy.
Tomorrow, there will be two more games, and I’ll be there
for all of both of them. Can’t wait!
