Last Wednesday Andi roped me into playing in Disc Wars which is a local indoor Ultimate Frisbee tournament. The teams were picked randomly and I ended up on a team with Simeon, which was a bit of a relief. I hate interacting with people I don't know at the best of times.so having Simeon on my team was a bonus. Bruce, the team captain, was also a great help. Very easy going/out going type who made allowances for the fact that this was the first time I'd ever played the game.

Really pushed myself the first day and had a great time. I found I was getting a reasonable amount positive feedback on my game from the other teams after each game and also second hand through Simeon, Andi and golden_gir1 which was cool too. :)

Really shouldn't have pushed myself quite so hard though. Really feeling it the next day. Had 5 (6?) games on Sunday. Lost the first 3 but we'd gotten into the finals which we went on to win. Was kinda cool getting through to that point in a tournament. Especially considering it was the first time I'd ever played.

So, I finally have a sport to play. Go me. :) Starting regular games on Sunday afternoons and I'll see where it goes from there. Already committed to going to a tournament in Nelson in mid November. This one is outdoors (bigger field and wind needs to be contended with) and on sand. Can't wait :)
