This past weekend was South Regionals, and the last tournament of the year for my team, Beta Iota Delta. It was great to play teams we had never played before from all over the region, mixed in with some ultimate drama that, to put it bluntly, involved a team (that might be called Codename) having to cheat to beat us (i.e. thanks to a few major douchebags). All in all we finished 9th overall, which is considerably better than the original 14th that we were seeded going in, and more importantly, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Best of luck to Jackie,…
Sectionals was this past weekend, and it was brutal. Seven games over two grueling days of super humidity and heat do not make for the most pleasant ultimate experience. But it was a super fun weekend nonetheless, filled with aimless driving around Dallas trying to find Whole Foods and Central Markets and football watching. Most importantly, BID finished 7th and advanced to Regionals, which will be in Austin in two weeks! We are all super excited to have the opportunity to play with each other for two more weeks and one more tournament.
Yesterday I took a break from cardio and…
So it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve really been climbing. We’ve gone to Marisa’s wall a few times which has painfully reminded us that gym holds are not going to be the same as outdoor holds. But with the trip home to Virginia, the copious amounts of rain that fell in Austin, and the crazy thick humidity that followed, climbing outside has not been at the top of our list.
The plan, climbing-wise, is this Friday we’ll be joining ARG for one more month. We’re hoping to get to Hueco and also hit up the more local places like…
I took a break this past weekend from working out and instead spent most of it outside in 105-degree weather. Chill’s team Flux played at Texas 2 Finger and I made the conscious decision that I would rather mill around the sidelines rather than playing. Even so, it was still brutal - yes, walking and sitting in the sun and 105 degrees is difficult - I feel like I had an exhausting weekend anyway!
It was fun though. Friday night we drove up early to catch the Boston Red Sox - Texas Rangers game with a bunch of friends, which was really…
Tomorrow I leave for California for a good 5-6 days! I am finally excited, although I can’t believe it’s already Labor Day weekend. It will be a fun time. The first few days will be spent in Santa Cruz as Doublewide plays in the Labor Day Championships (on those gorgeous, gorgeous UCSC athletic fields), and the next few will be a tour of wine country, with beautiful drives and visits to the various wineries in Sonoma and Napa. It was be a nice break from these 100-degree days in Austin (not that it bothers me all that much). Of course,…
I am proud to say that I am now part of a championship team from a club ultimate tournament! My team won the mixed division of the College Station Peanut Butter and Jelly Time tournament this past weekend. We went 4-0 on Saturday and won semis and finals on Sunday. I had a ton of fun with our team (the Az1an Sandwiches - because all our women were Asian and all our men were not, for the most part!), and of course, the tournament director who, aside from organizing the whole thing, let us all stay at her apartment. I…
