Spatially Challenged
On Friday night I went to Saskatoon for the annual Disc Odyssey Ultimate tournament. Our team was called 'Spatially Challenged' and we dressed ourselves in bandages to indicate we injured ourselves because of our lack of spatial awareness. We had a great time at the tournament and I even brought my friend Joelle into the world of ultimate for her first time (she loves the game, I might add). We played ultimate all day Saturday and part of Sunday, enjoying the dinner/party the tournament threw on Saturday night at one of Saskatoon's local pubs. Seeing as all of our beer was included in our tournament fees, the entire team enjoyed the provided beverages, some more than others. As a result, most of the team felt a little rough Sunday morning, however none more than Mic (say it like 'Mike', but spelled differently) who decided Sunday morning was a great time to eat a chicken salad sandwich from Tim Horton's for breakfast. This was the start of a very sick Mic, who we actually ended up leaving in the bush near the fields while we played our first two games. Hey - it was shady there at least (it was a hot day) and we left him with water, gatorade and the time to sleep it off.
While Mic was MIA in the bushes, the tournament coordinator walked around to all the teams and took their photo. Since Mic wasn't mobile, he didn't end up in the pictures. This is our team photo:Here's Mic during the team photo:
Mic, computer savvy that he is (apparently), decided to 'fix' the photo afterwards, since he missed out on it. Here's the modified version: Perhaps a little creepy but funny nonetheless.
Here are a few more photos from the tournament (forgive me for using ultimate lingo and not explaining what it all means):
