Yes, I’m back in league ultimate Frisbee. Being spring, that means it is time for Men’s
Beach League. I’m carpooling with a
couple of friends from here in town, and I’m even on the same team with one of
them.
Our kick off week was a week and a half ago. We played pick up for a while so the captains
could watch us and hopefully pick even teams.
Then we played our first game.
Our opponents were short men (the captain picked several people he knew
who weren’t there that day) so we agreed to play down.
Never do that.
As I knew it would, it really hurt us. We went down at half 0-6. We stayed with them for the second half and
finished with 5 or 6 points, but they beat us in the end.
On the plus side, I scored one of our goals. And everyone seems to be nice. And I was on the beach on a perfectly lovely
blue sky day.
Last week, I missed due to the LA Times Festival of
Books. It was cloudy and even rained
briefly at one point. I’ve heard that
our first game was really bad, 3-11, but the second was better, 8-11. We were even ahead for a while that game
before we lost subs. Obviously, I should
have been there.
But I’ll be there again on Saturday.
