Dynasty

So we didn't use the Woodland field again. But today, I was okay with it because we actually got a somewhat legit practice in. Started off with a long run, which I found that if I push myself a little, I can keep up with the faster kids on the team. Then we moved onto doing 25 backhands and forehands, which I quickly finished off, then moved onto hammers.

Ever since I've changed my forehand grip, I've only to throw blades: hammers that don't really flatten out. Before I could throw nice cross field hammers that didn't go too high and flattened out at the receiver, but now... they're just blades. I don't know how I'm going to adjust it to flatten out with this new grip.

Dynasty, baby. Me, Wes and Steve Silva handling gets us some pretty sick flow. Things us three need to work on...
Me: Don't be lazy, even when I'm sure I can easily break the mark, because if I throw a lackadaisical forehand, it'll turn to crap.
Wes: Look at the dump more, don't forget about it.
Steve: Good leads, but see that your receiver can catch up to that open space.

So I sort of slid into the only section on the field that had ice. This ice was thin and broke easily, so when it broke, it cut up my knee. It wasn't until after our dynasty that I noticed how much blood was on my leg.



Oh, it doesn't looko bad now, but that line on the left is deep as hell. Also, the caking of mud helps stop blood too.

Wonderful. One can never have enough protection when playing Ultimate.
