He said, you can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away

Quick one before p90x --

Nocturnal was a ride. Playing indoors is always a blast because you feel like a wizard with the disc. Absolutely perfect throwing conditions.

My team was full of mostly-chilly throwers who would rather swing the disc than throw upfield most of the time. This worked well until the later rounds, where most of the team did not sub appropriately, and the few upfield cuts we got stopped working, stifling our offense. We went from a dominating 5-0 (+33) to 5-2, with losses to a good team by 2 and the eventual 2nd placer's by something like 5 in the quarters.

The team was fun to play on while we were winning, and incredibly frustrating while losing. I felt that I subbed appropriately during the close games. I would go in, make 2-3 very hard cuts, and sub out after throwing a swing pass. After the 1st game, I rarely stayed on for more than two possessions. It sucked losing by seeing people on your team get absolutely torched, stay on because they "have enough gas for offense", and either not get a chance to sub for D and/or ruin the offense by making lazy cuts because they don't have enough to get open.

Still, probably the best team I have played on in my years at nocturnal, and certainly the most fun. I think I played well once I got warmed up. Felt very fast, but no endurance, which seems to be the theme of the season. Better than slow and no endurance. Throws always feel good indoors, but I concentrated on getting as low and as far out as I could on many throws. I experimented throwing to downfield cutters while trapped on the line and actually attempted some backhands, to mostly good effect.

Need to remember that you are always going to feel fast on turf. That you are always going to throw well indoors. That defense is often easier because there is less ground to cover. As good as one is indoors, gotta remember that outdoor is that much harder.

Almost not sore -- two days later.

Enough procrastinating. Chest/Shoulders/Tris/Abs/ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


P.S. -- Sore in the hips. The more I think about cutting/defending, the more I realize that the only thing that matters is how fast you can turn your hips.
