ultimate play day
saturday found a blazing sun overhead as i barked to everyone to find a sunblock buddy. unfortunately, i didn't seem to take the advice myself and have an interesting red frame around my face of white. the idea of dark/light shirts was a good idea until i had to switch over to the dark team to even out the numbers. hot.
seeing as most people there hadn't played before, i briefly went over the rules, and we hit the field, with the first 5 minutes or so just being an all-out scramble as people found their ultimate legs. strategy pretty much went something like this: toss, drop, other team picks up, toss, drop, other team... well you get the point. we eventually sorted ourselves out and went on to have a solid 20 minutes or so of playing until we needed a water/beer/snacky break. couple hours later, we didn't pick up the discs again, but that's okay. we had a good time, ran around a bit, and made those kinds of promises of "we'll have to do it again!"... and next time, everyone will watch out for their sunblock buddy.
current mood: again! again!
