Fun with UF and a Break in the Weather

We caught a lucky break with the weather, and because of it, were able to have fun with ultimate frisbee. The weather has been a little strange, actually. We had tons of rain in the beginning of Spring, which seemed to portend a wet and cool Summer, but this has not been the case. Summer thus far has been warm and dry. We just recently got some badly needed rain, though probably not enough.

It started raining on Saturday, and the forecast called for more of the same on Sunday, but the precipitation let up early in the day, though the clouds lingered. There were predictions of thunder storms in the afternoon, with hot humid temps, but the rain didn’t come, and the clouds kept things cool.

We went over to the field, and initially there were no people, which was disheartening, but gradually they came, and by 6:15, we had a good enough crowd to begin. We played a small field, which is better for the kids, and we had a blast. It was muggy, and we all sweat bullets, but had fun, and it was a really nice time. A&N each scored multiple touchdowns, so that makes it all okay. I went head to head with JM and paid the price, the guy is a juggernaut, but all in the name of playing UF, right?

I love our weekly UF. Not only do we get lots of exercise, but it’s fun and great to see the community come out to play.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to leagun for the pic.
