So this weekend was the Burlington Sundodger Invite--the first Ultimate tournament of the year. Notice the name: Sundodger. That's because the sun doesn't shine in Burlington. Ever. Ullr's second cousin Ellr lives there.


So DIRT split into three teams--X, Y and Z--because we're the biggest, baddest team around. I was on DIRT X and we commenced killing other teams as soon as we stepped onto the field at 8 am. (Yes, there is a throw called a 'blade' and it is just as lethal as the fictional character.) Games were to 11 points and here's how we did on Saturday:
     DIRT X 11, UPS 2
     DIRT X 8, PLU 7 (game cut short due to schedule snaffu)
     Dirt X 11, Montana State 8
     DIRT X 11, Gonzaga 6


The game versus PLU was shaping up to be a great finish;  they're a strong team that was consistently diving for discs (called a 'lay-out') and played tight defense. I thoroughly enjoyed the game against Montana State for a couple of reasons. First, my family was there so I got to show off a bit--it was during this game that I scored my only goal of the day. Second, their team name is the Rum Runners, and for a good reason. They all took a swig before the game. (Captain Morgan didn't do much help for them. But they were happy because losing meant they could go get drunk.)


Sunday was the Quarterfinals and DIRT X was up against Univ. of British Columbia, who just happened to have a nationally ranked player on their team. But we came out strong and lead them to half 8-6. (Games were now to 15 points.) But they turned their game on and we turned our game off. Final score: UBC 15, DIRT X 11.


All in all, a great weekend with lots of frisbee, lots of mud, lots of carbohydrates, lots of coldness in my toes, and lots of sore muscles today. Thankfully, we only had a short practice today and get to rest the remainder of the week. But only because we have another tourny in Eugene, Oregon this upcoming weekend.
