“Ultimate Frisbee” is the worst name for a sport ever
June 3rd, 2007
I went to a MiPL Ultimate Frisbee game this evening. It was in the mid to high eighties, and it was humid, whew! This was the first time I’ve played Ultimate since college. I forgot how much running around it involved. Plus, back then, I could probably make it for about three plays before I’d be too tired to move. It was really a treat having some endurance. It wasn’t that I wasn’t sucking air after sprinting for a little bit — I was, hard — but I recovered within what felt like a few seconds after stopping, and I was ready to go again. I’m also pretty good at throwing and catching a Frisbee, so I had a great time, even if it was completely exhausting. Only eight people showed up, but most of them were pretty good.
Portland Fit’s schedule has us running intervals Tuesday, but I’m going to count the Ultimate as my week’s intervals session and just make it a normal run Tuesday. Or maybe take it off entirely.
Digg! this story.
