And the Tourney Brings it to a Close

Saturday was the Summer League ultimate Frisbee tournament.  And, unfortunately, that means that summer league is over for another year.

Fortunately, the tournament was in town again, so I only had to drive 15 minutes to get to the field.

But we lost both of our games.  Games were to 13.  We actually had an impressive comeback in our first game.  The other team made it to 12, and then we scored several in a row, finally losing at 7-13.  The next game was called for time, and we ended that game 8-12.  It was our best game of the week!

I’m really sorry to see the season end, more so than I normally am.  Yes, I’m looking forward to no longer having the long drives once a week to our games.  However, I am really going to miss my teammates.  I had fun with them, even when we were losing.  And, the last few years, I’ve felt like I was more a hindrance than a help to my team, and I would think about quitting ultimate Frisbee.  This year, I didn’t feel like that at all.  It’s what comes from actually being included instead of the guy told to stay out of the action.  It makes a huge difference, and I really appreciated the change.

I think I’m going to play some more pick up here in town, at least for the next couple of weeks, in place of one of my runs.  Hopefully, that will help fill the gap in my life.
