Muddy Grass

My whole body is sore. Bloody hell. That’s what rolling in the mud for one whole Saturday does to you. But I guess it really was the best training since the Opens. Back to basics, and I was really pleased with my throwing today. The short simple throws were consistently, dare I say good? And that’s simply what I want from my game. Haha, but my catching was absolutely horrible today. One-handed, leaping, diving, pancake, no-handed — you name it, I missed them all. Was one of those days. Really shows how much a little rain and mud can do to you. And so yesterday was like, the anti-Fangwei day — Fang Wei can throw but can’t catch. An oxymoron by itself.
Winter League is coming, and I guess by default I will have to join. Besides, I really want to see how much I’ve improved since the Summer League, wondering how much a little more tactical awareness and (finally!) the ability to throw the darn disc will help. Not sure if I can commit time though, seeing that next term is a killer. Haha, I’ll just pay and go when I’m free lah. Won’t hurt anyway.
Life as a sportsman. Interesting I guess. But tedious during Decembers. Like hours of cleaning up and washing off mud from your clothes and boots. I hope the drainage system at home doesn’t choke.
