The pinacle of club ulitmate tournaments.
Pool Play:
Bos def Sea
Bos def Port
Bos def Ral/Dur
SF Jam def Bos
Bos def Boulder
Tournament Play:
SF Revolver def Bos
Consolation:
NC def Bos
I don't have much to write about cause I twisted my ankle real bad in the Ring game. At times we looked really good, but we mostly looked sloppy and aggresive. On O when we minimize the sloppiness and contain the aggresiveness things look awesome. We found out that our potential is pretty phenomenal, but if we lose our mental edge for a sec the game is over.

practice: Sat and Sun 7-11 and 7-12
It was really hot and we played a lot. I threw away way to many discs on not 50% decisions. Time to rein it in a little. My cutting feels worlds better than earlier in the year. My ankles are stronger and Im getting a little pop coming in and out of cuts.
I played allright if a bit uninspired d. I need to work on being effective during a long d point where I have defend more than one cut cause I was gettin run a little bit, like pushed to the break side and then beat across to the open side. I felt like I did a better job of strategically forcing people deep to places where I could make a play on a deep throw or prevent the throw all together. I think this is important if you are consistently being beat under from a standstill, especially if your dude comes up wanting to bomb it time and time again.
Im in DC at a conference and I am about to check out the hotel pool to get my legs moving a bit.

ive been slacking
Sorry to the 10 (maybe?) people who check this site. The dead leg and then lower back kept me off the track and out of the weight room these past two weeks and then this week I have felt the touch of malaise induced by having been out of the gym for so long. I did the track workout this past week, but my legs felt tired and I didnt bring a watch. It was a fartleck, some 100's, some 2's and some sprint the straights, jog the curves.
I will make sure to get back on the train this week from my hotel in dc.
About this past weekend. It is really hard to keep track of how you play when you play 9 of 10 d points. We had 15 on Sat and 14 on Sun split right down the middle. I am definitly playing better man to man and my cutting on o is feeling better than ever. I had a nice sky for a d and I got a layout block that was almost a come to full speed wrap around block that I have been looking for (I also managed to completely erase the d from teammates minds by getting up from this catch-d and seeing Kolt streaking deep, launching an IO backhand from the flick sideline snaking it around a group of people 10 feet in front of me. It only overshot him by 20 or 30 yards. C'mon, it was my first d of the new season). I missed two more that seemed there and I just couldn't explode fast enough, which is a little disconcerting given how hard I have worked so far. I can always give more and these last two weeks have definitly not advanced to where I should be. Although my d is getting better, there are lulls (that I will attribute 50% to having 7 defenders for a 95 degree day at 6,000 feet) where I just get run around for a whole point, have trouble getting in good positions and get beat places. There are also points where I am in my guys way the whole time, denying him the disc and just making him uncomfortable. As we run by the throwing lane and my guy doesnt get the disc I am still a little surprised that I just shut him down, which is remnants of my d for most of last year and early this year while I still get back to pre-Ecuador ultimate-sense, -shape and -desire.
I promise to talk about practice this weekend (of which i might miss one because I have to move) and the rest of my months of working out.
