stuff...

uh, sunday, a race... for the kids... today, 45 minutes of biking (commuting), squats, hangcleans, chinups, abs...

ultimate corner... well, they play local hs games on the cable... i saw the last few minutes of the hs girls play. up 15, the home team was forced to spend the last 3 minutes of game time in a 20 minute parade to the line. the opponents hacked their way to a 20 point loss. so, whoever wants to tell me there are too many stoppages in ultimate... just... get over it.

yes, it's a better game to watch when the defense is soft... but, it's not necessarily a better game. higher scoring is not necessarily an improvement...

some pet peeves. you say stalling, and it means zero. it's not stllnONE... but moving on...

once i caught a pass in a crowd, stepped to throw the easy goal, and realized that my arm was imprisoned in the two hand hammer lock... pulling my arm away from the opponent and throwing the goal, he called foul, saying i'd fouled him in forcefully ripping my arm from his grip. when i called him a f__ing cheating f___, he shrugged, and said, 'it's a strategy'.

this is very irritating.

for this is obviously a 'tactic', not a strategy.

the strategy was in our small team dogging it against this team on saturday, knowing the tournament format would force us to play them on sunday, and kicking their ass then.

strategy: multi game, if not season long approach.
tactics are plays, and actions with in a play.

duh.

tommorrow, probably skate intervals, wednesday frisbee, thursday, drive to sunvalley for the 30 something kilometer boulder mountain tour...

hopefully get back for the last half of the super bowl... go... uh... nouns of a geographic region...
