A weekend without Ultimate is like a weekend without sunshine.  I love the sport, I'm not very good at it, but I love it.  The running around, the comradery, meeting new people, sprinting for 2 hours straight, the funky tan lines, and even the injuries.  Weird I know.  All you have to do is play hard, keep moving to get open, and don't forget to drop and defend on a turn over.. easy enough.

I was retelling the story of my latest injury from this weekend and started to think about my ultimate season in the form of one of those credit card commercial where the final tag line is "priceless."  My Ultimate frisbee commercial went something like this...

An old pair of shoes from when I used to be a runner... $85
official 175 gram Disc... $7.95
trip to the emergency room and ENT specialist $726.50
Another head injury a month later and no trip to the hospital... $0
Ice cream afterwards to take away the pain... $5.46
Earning the nickname "helmet" and bouncing back to play another game... priceless!

I'll miss this season when its done, so much fun left to be had and so little summer left to play in. anyone ever play Ultimate in the snow?  I'm up for trying, game on!
