PM- PM with just Aaron. Hottest day of the year, above 90 deg, but not very humid so didn't feel too bad. Didn't even drink all of my water. Did the shortened course, 7.5 miles or so. Felt pretty good, better than last week.

Lunch- new shoes. 2.5 miles run, then frisbee on a hot day. Lots of drops and low energy due to heat. My team won 5-3.

AM- I intended to run an hour, but my shin (shin splints?) were not feeling good, nor my ankle, so I stopped after a mile and biked instead. Uneventful. Blah.

Lunch- rough, rough frisbee game. 3 miles running first, then time for ultimate. We didn't do a good job splitting the teams and my team was definitely outmatched. We got whupped almost the whole time. We weren't playing well (bad throws, missed catches) and the other team had better players. We started the game to 5 and the other team immediately scored 2 easy points. I got very frustrated and was working my tail off chasing the disc, counting the thrower, etc. My team started playing a bit better but the score was still 4-2 them. However, with some kind of insane toughness, effort, and luck, we somehow won 5-4. It was tough, tough. After the game, almost my whole team was laying on the ground exhausted, and, for the first time ever, had a team rally after. Game to remember.
