Loading ...Been a while since I had cause to do a tourney writeup…this is less a writeup proper and more a short impression, since it was so brief (one day).
A few lessons I learned from today:
1) Navigating in Japan by car is harder than you think.
2) I’m really out of shape.
3) There’s a rather significant ultimate population in Japan (the tourney had some 14 or 16 teams!?–the majority of which were 90-100% Japanese. University clubs are becoming more poplar here, it seems)–it’s just not concentrated close to where I live and work. Feel free to get in touch with me if you ever happen to be out East and in search of some action.
4) Even out of shape and out of practice, my throws remain solid–more on that later this week.
5) Turning a 2-hour trip into a 5-hour one does not, in fact, do a driver’s body well. Ouch.
I racked up a layout D in my first game (second point, I think)–if you’re ever picking up with a team and you need to prove you’re legit in a hurry (say you show up 3 hours late and really need to prove that you were worth the wait), get ho.
There’s some stuff from the summer version here. The site and condition were pretty much exactly the same, maybe a little rainier, but you get the idea.
