Ryan convinced me to sign up for the ward intramural Ultimate Frisbee team this term. It was my first time playing intramural sports - or any kind of sport as a part of a team. Needless to say, I was terrified. However, frisbee turned out to be a good choice because a) it's easier to catch and doesn't hurt as bad to get hit with and b) there's not very many rules. Basically you just run around and try to keep the other team from catching it, and if you catch it, you just can't move your feet while you throw.
*Note: You can develop a better strategy than this. That's probably why the teams we played generally tended to score so much...*
In any case I managed to break both those rules as well as fail to stop the opposing team from passing their game-winning point, but hey, it was a good season anyway. It was a fun way to get some exercise and make some friends in our new ward.
After the game, Ryan and I consoled ourselves (and cool off!) with slurpees from 7-eleven. New favorite summer treat! (Cherry-mango-pina colada is the best.)
