after my long trip around northern/north-central europe, i had little time to get in shape... because this past weekend i went to a frisbee tournament, my first in almost two months.
the tournament in question was the Czech national championship. we won it last year and the question was could we win it again with a slightly different roster?
the answer is yes. we could. and we did. we beat every team decisively and we won the Spirit Prize as well, which was an enormous surprise to us. for those of you unfamiliar with ultimate frisbee, the sport relies on the good spirit of the players and does not have officiation. therefore, in order to encourage this tradition, many tournaments (in Europe, at least) have spirit prizes which are given to the team with the best spirit.
it's not that we were surprised because we think that we didn't have good spirit, but rather that a team that so thoroughly dominates rarely ever wins the spirit prize. especially if the team is composed mostly of expatriates. heh.
oh well, here's my own hand patting my own back. well done, chappie.
as for today and the future, the hard part has arrived. my first task is to sort through my photos from my trip. my second task is to organize and discipline myself and write my business plan.
