Today started with standard alarm (Smithers texting “Out”) at 4:40 am, which meant it was time to get up and get ready for Impromptu. Next it was time to roll by and collect Deflated with windows down and head on over to Cuthberston. Side Note: Really miss having Smithers pick us up, as 2x this week I forgot workout shirt in car and it smells like @$$. Setup field for Ultimate Frisbee, place speaker on site and head back to COT.
At COT – give disclaimer, check for CPR, phone, and give safety briefing and we head off towards the Hamburger Helper (Front of Highs School) asphalt to do our initial stretches. Quick round of stretches – SSH, Jimmy Dugans, Calf, Runner, Merkins, and Slow Squats. Then head to the music at HS Parking lot!
At lot partner up for Triple Nickel. P1 goes 1 way around the “field” while P2 goes the other way. When meet partner do 5 – Handslap Bobby Hurleys and when you meet 2nd time do 5 hand slap merkins, 5 rounds. Next, make 2 groups of 6. Send set of partners to far end to do Jack Webb (1 merkin / 4 shoulder press, progression up) and 2 partners stay at top doing Ab Webb (1 big boi/4 pistol LBC) and 2 partners are the runners (timer). YHC instructions were as clear as Damascus at this week convergence, only difference was I never had someone come up to say SSSSShhhhhhhhh…..because we were too loud. Either way, we pushed through it and made it work.
Next return for little more Partner work of shortened triple nickel – 5 squats / 5 big bois / 3 rounds.
Main Event:
Break up into 2 teams again and give Chicken Little the coin toss of Ultimate Frisbee or Ultimate Football – he elects to go with frisbee.
Ultimate Frisbee Play-by-Play Summary:
Chicken Little and Stagecoach are selected as captains, and the teams hit the field with excitement pulsing through the air. The crowd anticipates a thrilling match-up, knowing that both teams are stacked lacking talent.
*First Half*
The game kicks off, but both teams struggle with early turnovers. It seems like some players have hands made of stone, dropping anything that comes near them. Despite the shaky start, Chicken Little manages to take an early 2-0 lead, leaving Stagecoach trailing.
However, Stagecoach refuses to be counted out. They rally the experienced players together and start working the short passes efficiently. With precision, Stagecoach orchestrates touchdown passes to Maple Syrup, gradually bringing their team back into contention. The game seesaws with back-and-forth action, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats.
Deflated makes a spectacular toe-tap catch in the endzone, sparking a moment of hesitation for YHC. Should he challenge the catch, considering the strength of his initial disclaimer? Memories of Beckham’s injury during a casual game of duck, duck, goose flash through his mind and decides to not plow through him and cause any further injuries and give up the score. Later on Maple Syrup strikes again, scoring another crucial point to tie the game 3-3. We quickly found Maple is a better catcher then thrower as his opening kickoff ended with a minus 20 yd result when he managed to somehow throw it behind himself.
Overtime
With just 2 minutes left in overtime, both teams step up their defensive game. The intensity on the field is palpable as players dive, leap, and sprint walk, drop, and throw to other team. However, despite the heightened defense, neither team manages to score the winning point. The game ends in a thrilling tie, leaving both teams hungry for victory.
Post Game:
Quick clean up of the field and head back to COT. Where upon arrival quickly garner few shot clock violations for 2 min extended time.
All in all it was fun and allowed for bunch of idiots to run around again and play frisbee. We will look to see if we can finish the game another day and break the dreaded tie.
