Chicago

I was in Chicago this weekend, playing frisbee. Kristin hooked us up with PPF from Waterloo. I had never been to Chicago, and it seems like a really cool city. I would have loved to see more of it. The weather was super nice, somewhere around 25 or 30. Hot. We had a lot of very close games on Saturday, but disappointing went 0-4 on the day. As if that wasn't disappointing enough on it's own, it also meant that we played a pre-quarter at 8:30 in the morning. Had we come top two in our pool, we would have had a 10:30 start. 8:30 start time translated to 5:50 wake up (seriously), so I regretted the 0-4 a lot. The good news in that the team played much better on Sunday, and we ended up fifth. I enjoyed playing and the trip, and also tried to use the weekend to work on a couple of specifics on the field (although I'm sure no one noticed but me). The next tournament, next weekend, is sectionals in Rochester, which is one day. It's just one day, since we just have two teams to play, but the Capitals have six hours of frisbee planned. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is just as nice.

ps. Damn good thing it was nice. The weather network said it would be, but still. Since we were leaving from Waterloo, I had to be able to ride my gear to Thursday practice (including sleeping back and thermarest), so I packed light.
