Indoor

Was originally planning on a sprint workout, but Ronnie Eder invited me to play indoor so I went out to Armory after happy hour.

Showed up part-way into the first game against the B-Marsh/Colleen team, didn't get too many opportunities to go head to head with Brian but did some stuff. We won by a few points?

Second game was against Calvin, Kevin Chiang, Dustin, Pez, etc. I thought on paper there was no way we'd take it, but apart from a string of over-the-top goals to Calvin, we really controlled the pace of the game and wound up winning by 8ish.

Apart from playing poorly in the air - skied once each by B-Marsh, Calvin, and Kevin - I think I did my thing, to the extent my thing could be done with the broad skill level represented at the Armory. Had a few nice connections with some of the ladies, including a couple deep balls. Armory is weird. Not sure if I'd like it for a full season, but it was good to run around - definitely got a good sweat going.

The metro broke down so I got there about ten minutes late, but got in a really great 15 minutes of fast paced action before we all stopped playing because of a candlelight vigil in the park for the victims of a recent shootout in PG county. Afterwards watched game 7: congrats to the Cubs and Chicago!

Fall League, Lift

12-15 vs DC Ultimallers

Focus for the game was denying the disc from my matchup, not being content to contain but trying to completely prevent them from getting the disc. Did a good job of matching footwork and maintaining proximity for the most part, but got slipped a couple times in one point and failed to lay out on a playmaking opportunity. Offense wasn't the focus but I moved the disc effectively, apart from one no-look Jesse Shofner move to a clearing reset. Whoops.

Threw for 10min, then thrower/marker for another 10min in the pouring rain. Once things cleared up we got our summer league game in, but the first half was pretty much a debacle for us. Came back in the second half to finish 12-15?
