I decided in order to meet some more people and keep the pasta pounds off, I'd try out the Italian version of ULTIMATE FRISBEE. Yes, it exists.
I got in touch with the coach, then the captain, Alba. Sadly, I had to walk to the first practice... which generally would not be a big deal. However, it was a little terrifying walking 45 minutes outside of the city center to somewhere I had a vague idea.. (I got a ride home - thank god)
It was AWESOME. I am definitely paying for my lack of exercise today, as my body is crying to take a hot bath to relax some muscles that have no been used in MONTHS. It was WELL worth the pain though.
The girls were are very nice and all italian. Just one more way to be immersed. The drills and the scrimmaging were similar to the US - but some of the terms were confusing. I was able to jump right in though! Oh, oh, oh - not to mention the really cool bags and gear the girls were rocking.. hopefully I'll get in on that.
So- to all my Janes (for those of you who don't know - that is the name of the Ultimate Frisbee team I play for at IU) - keep up the good work.. we may need to schedule an international tourney...? Great.
Everyone have an EXCELLLLLENT day. :)
