Ultimate Frisbee

ULTIMATE!!!! Oh what a joy. Nothing like a good ole fun game of ultimate frisbee. Pump those arms, stretch those legs and yes, practice your pancake. The best part about this game is playing with a giant group of great friends. We took a stab at this high impact sport a few nights ago. We were all into it. Team cheer and everything. TEAM 2! You should have seen it. Passes left and right. Catches high and low. Sprints so fast not even a cheetah could keep up. That wonderful feeling of victory when you catch the flying disc just past the goal line. Don't forget the injuries though. What do you get when you throw an 100 pound girl into a bowl filled determination and a couple of opposing team members? A crash landing. I guess you could say I bit off more than I could chew. It was the game winning goal and I just so happen to be in the end zone and the frisbee? Way down the other end. Our team mate with the best throw known to frisbee history, sent that flying disc soaring through the air. Straight towards me. I thought this is it, you can win your team the game. So I strapped on my sport head and didn't let anything stop me. Not even the two boys-just as determined as I- running towards me at full speed. Then suddenly a Cassia sandwich. The result: a sprained finger, bruised neck and ribs, and a pile load of shame and embarrassment. But the pain and suffering doesn't last long when you are surrounded by great people who laugh along with you not at you. Ultimate frisbee: A game best played with a truckload (literally) of friends. Oh and yes, we did win!
