Ultimate Come Back Part XVII
Not sure how many times I have stated this: Tonight I’m making my Ultimate Frisbee come back after a few weeks out and a few years of general slacking.
I’m fed up of getting stitch because I’ve had to walk up the stairs, feeling slightly lightheaded because I’ve had to stand up after watching TV, getting cramp in my legs from sitting down too long in the office and out of breath after having sex. Nope, this is it, fitness time, when I get up in the mornings I’m going to consider doing push-ups/sit-ups – that kind of crazy shit, eat more fruit etc.
It’s a little bit of a shame that playing Ultimate isn’t a complete work-out as it is mostly leg work and slight upper body. At least playing ultimate is competitive, social, interesting and enjoyable unlike going to the gym. …although now I mention the words social and Ultimate in the same sentence, Red organised a social of pizza/bowling/drinking in town for partners and team members. This was mostly a shambles because out of the 20 people that claimed to be meeting at Pizza Hut at three o’clock, only one person turned up (20 minutes late) and another chap (from one of the student teams) turned up a hour and a half late. It wouldn’t have been so bad but we were patiently waiting until four o’clock incase people were still planning to meet at four o’clock as stated in the unrevised email that was initially distributed. So if any of the team read this – you’re all a bloody let down!
Ok, so here’s to getting half decent at playing Ultimate Frisbee whilst getting fit at the same time.
