Living Life at 11

Really short post as photos and results say it all. It was a day of firsts. The Women’s Masters division debuted at WUGC and is a huge step forward for the division. We’ve seen Open Masters for a while but to see six solid teams in the Women’s Masters division is fantastic. The teams are closely matched and it was a pleasure to watch high level Ultimate with a touch more experience.

Like those around the country (and beyond) I visited my parents and sister today for a BBQ in the evening before fireworks. My sister is a few years younger and not quite as involved in sports as I am (she is a bit of a brainiac though, just a bit). A few years ago she started to take an interest in Ultimate but it never went beyond wanting to throw in the park.

Hello Ultimate friends and fans. After a very long hiatus I plan on a momentary relapse before once again vanishing (online that is). I’ve been busy with work and life (those of you that know me will know what’s up) but I have still been active in Ultimate. This posting is to inform you that I’m heading to WUGC and am planning on some coverage from Japan. Postings may be delayed due to inclement weather but I shall provide a perspective of the event as it happens.
