that’s whacked

6 weeks, and feelin’ like crap

Friday, Feb 17. 2006  –  Category: Musings

so after taking a very laaazy vacation for 4 weeks, and then 2 weeks of being sick, and missing ultimate – i finally got back out in full force yesterday, playing my usual lunch-time pickup and then heading out in the evening for my much-missed league game.

lunch pickup was fun. nothing spectacular, but it felt good to get running again.

league started out on a good note… scored two points early on, and then proceeded to suck it up badly. i dropped a pull for a turnover to the other team 2 feet away from the endzone. ouch. i was starting to feel pretty bad about my play, until the last point when on a quick turnover to our team, i bolted for the endzone hoping PK would pull a long huck. he did, i went all out for it, felt my left calf muscle tighten up, kept on running for it – and caught it.

and then i got mauled by the f-ing idiot trying to cover me.

anyway, that point made up for the whole night. i felt great. until i realised my leg muscles were cramping up all over. this morning i rolled out of bed, tried to stand up and promptly collapsed. i’m definitely feeling the pain of 2 and a half hours of ultimate play.

but damn it felt great!
