Exhausted

I played two games of Ultimate Frisbee tonight. My team hasn’t done that well, but I played quite a few points. Which is great for removing what belly I have. I wish we could win a game, but either way I am having fun.  I really do miss playing Ultimate.  I wish life afforded me the same time as when I was only working part time.  It is amazing how much you can play around when your responsibilities only cover half the week.

Anni played her first games of Ultimate tonight. It was amazing to watch her improve over the course of a couple hours. I find Ultimate Frisbee difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t witnessed a game before.  The mixing of football, soccer, and basketball concepts into a sport with a flat disc don’t seem to leap out to some people. I attempted to explain the 10 simple rules the best I could, but for someone whose sports while growing up consisted of rowing and the like concepts such as sidelines aren’t natural.  Before we completed the second game there was an obvious difference compared with the first. I am very proud.
