Repeat visitors to this blog may be wondering: what happened to my frequent ultimate frisbee status updates? Well, the status updates may have petered out, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still playing. I’m still very much attending the regular Monday, Wednesday, and Friday lunchtime pickup games in Burlington. It’s business as [...]

A quick update on the ultimate front. I’ve been playing regularly the past few weeks, but not without some discomfort. My ankle is still not 100% but it’s faded into a nagging annoyance. It appears that it always feels worse in the morning and then loosens up and doesn’t bother me too [...]

It’s been over five weeks since I sprained my ankle during an ultimate game. Unfortunately, it still hasn’t completely healed. It’s likely that I didn’t give it enough time as only a week after the incident, I was back on the field. After a couple weeks of abusing it during hat league [...]

I haven’t written an ultimate post in a while, but needless to say, it’s not because I haven’t been playing! However, due to recent events, I may not be playing for at least a week or so. During Friday’s lunchtime pickup game, I came down hard on an uneven section of ground and [...]

It’s taken until August, but we seem to be in a mostly consistent summer weather pattern now. It’s been busy over the past several weeks but not too busy for ultimate. BUDA club tournament coming up this weekend.
Ultimate Statistics (since January 2008):
Total Games Played: 218
Total Hours Played: 254

In my last ultimate post, I mentioned something about shutting things down to give my body a rest. Well, that didn’t happen. In the last 11 days, I’ve played ultimate in 8 of them. I’m pretty sore but it’s been a lot of fun. Finally getting a long stretch of nice [...]

My left hamstring is becoming a pain in the ass (quite literally). My body is not holding up well to the five consecutive days per week schedule. In the past two weeks I’ve missed two BUDA games due to my ailing hamstring, as well as a couple Burlington pickup games. I still [...]

I had grand aspirations to play ultimate five consecutive days last week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were to be regularly scheduled Burlington lunchtime pickup, and Tuesday, Thursday evenings were to be BUDA summer league games. That plan was derailed when I suffered a quadriceps contusion during Tuesday night’s game from an in-game collision. [...]

The events of this weekend and upcoming week are likely a blessing in disguise. You see, I’m on a BUDA spring hat league team and the end of season tournament is today. However, I missed it, because I’m currently in San Francisco preparing for JavaOne (more on that in a later post). [...]

In case you were wondering, I’m still playing ultimate. I’ve decided to compress my ultimate posts into periodic summaries. This way, they won’t seem so monotonous.
We’ve had some warm weather over the last couple of weeks, pushing back into the 90’s for a couple of games. I made it to the Burlington [...]
