Frisbee

If you don't know this about me already, I love Ultimate Frisbee. This weekend, we traveled to Kerry for a tour of the Dingle peninsula. The Frisbee team went to the City of Limerick (start the rhyming jokes) for a tournament called the Siege of Limerick. They needed Devon and I. We couldn't go. And were upset. Then we find out that one of the best players in the world is at the tourney. We almost just disappear from the trip on Saturday morning. Miss the bus. Slog through a day of tours. The best part of that day was when they let us play on the beach, and we did some easy bouldering on the rocks, and enjoyed the view..

Luckily one of our good friends, Johnny, who is a roommate of a team member drove out the the tournament with them and was willing to come pick us up from the hotel in Dingle, and take us back to our Captain's house in Limerick. The rest is a whirlwind day of frisbee, rain, snow and success. The team went 3-1 on the day, and finished 10th out of 28. Savage play was the order of the day as we only had 7 healthy players. We played 65ish straight points, until I couldn't jump because my legs were cramping so badly. All in all, it was a great day. One of the other Americans on the team Chuck and our lovely driver Famous Johnny took a bunch of pictures from both days of the tourney, so they are linked below.

Also, Mark Earley, who sort of runs tourneys around here, posted a bunch to his picasa page. If you look real close, you can find us Panteras in white. The link is below.
