Ultimately the Ultimate
Ok, I’m going to say it. No I’m not. I never will. I’m to loyal. Naw, why lie to myself. Aww, I guess I’ll say it…maybe. Yeah, ok here goes. I am officially now saying that I love Ultimate Frisbee more than Base….than, baseb….more than baseball. *pause* I still love you baseball! Please don’t let this mar our relationship! Ok, well baseball used to be my favorite sport, but now Ultimate has taken 1st place, with baseball right underneath it. Ultimate is just so much fun! There’s nothing quite like seeing that disc (yes, it is a disc, not a Frisbee, because that’s the name of the manufacturers of the first discs) fly out of your hand and down the field, with a teammate running it down to advance the play. Or vice versa, having someone huck (i.e. throw a long pass) it to you down field, and you be the one pounding over the ground to pull down that disc, leaving nothing but wind and opposing players behind you. Or throwing hammers (they can’t be described, so if you don’t know what they are, you missing out), I loooooove throwing hammers. My teammates can attest to that. Pretty much just everything about Ultimate is amazing, except for getting exhausted. Ironically, I got my first leg cramp just now after playing a couple hours of intense Ultimate. But even that isn’t so bad considering all the benefits. Yeah, I love Ultimate.
I still love you to baseball….just don’t tell Ultimate.
..or Grandpa. Love, Mom (:
