out of the blue

Last night, I played a lot of ultimate frisbee–three games in a row. The first was about 50 minutes long, the second 25 or 30, and the third lasted over the limit, clocking in at 60 or 70 minutes long. We started on the hour each time, so I was playing frisbee most of the time from 6:00 to 9:10. (During the longest break we had, Aaron and I threw the frisbee around for nearly all of it.) I quite enjoyed the games.

We lost the first game 8-10, won the second 10-2, and won the third 10-6.

I'd still say that the third game was the most difficult, even though we didn't lose like we did in the second. This was due to the other team holding us off from scoring for a long time–some points lasted five or ten minutes (from my skewed judgement of time while playing).

All in all, it was a great night, and our last game was a satisfying victory. The first game was essentially our first practice session as a team, and by the end of the night we were playing a lot better. I'm hoping we'll continue to get better and better, even if we don't win the tournament.

After playing frisbee, Aaron and I (after showers) watched Gandhi, the movie. Brilliant film, thanks largely to how awesome the man himself was. That was about 3 hours long, and we were quite ready to sleep by the time we returned to our room.
