Ahhh, Slick Ultimate

You see random people of the past in random strange places.

So, today was gorgeous. No other way to put it. Absolutely gorgeous. Woke up wayyyy too early, and just bummed about.

I wanted to take a nap on a beach, but I didn't think I could make it all the way down to Jericho without running into the ditch (from falling asleep), so I just slept a bit a home.

Eventually, I went for a short bike ride, mainly to get some road slicks (road tires for my mountain bike). Holy crap, they make such a huge difference. I couldn't possibly have imagined the difference it would've made until I tried them.

Then, I poked on the internet to find something to do outdoors. I wanted to play beach volleyball or throw a disc (frisbee) around, and found out that Maple Ridge, li'l ol' Maple Ridge, has our own Ultimate leage. Wow. That's just crazy. And, further more, they were playing at 6pm. Rock on.

Showed up at 5:45, and saw some unexpected old high school acquaintances, and even a teacher. Weird as heck.

Anyway, took a warm-up lap, and I was breathing hard already. I'm so out of shape.

Started throwing a bit, and it was nice to know that my handling hasn't completely fallen on the wayside. I picked up with a team, and ended up as a main handler.

By time I left, my quads, both legs, were seizing up. I actually couldn't walk properly, because I couldn't straighten out my legs.

And that's about the story that I had.

Yay.
