Czech Kimle

21 October, 2014 – 21:36

Eigentlich sollte ich in Deutsch schreiben, aber ich erspare euch die grausame Übersetzung von Google. dafür ist es ein ausführlicher Report geworden. ich hoffe, ihr habt Spaß beim lesen und natürlich ist der Bericht auch rechtzeitig online… Ich muss als Deutsche schließlich die Pünktlichkeit einhalten 🙂

Leaving Friday night we made it with almost no problems to this little town Slatiny( almost means: it is pretty tough to get over the border to Czech and not get lost at a truck stop). After setting up our side of the gym we went to the little welcome party. Some stayed longer, and didn’t feel the cold due this magic thing called Stroh 80.

The Saturday started off nicely with a later game. The sun was out, yummy breakfast prepared and everybody just really excited for the first game. We started against a bag full of brown rice( I hope I got that right???), a team consisting out of junior players. But for that, the girls were throwing crazy overheads!!! But we had a good start and scored most of the times easily. The newbies were doing a great job we even played zone D, and looking good. At the end it was a clear win for us. Everything was great, sunshine even better than in the summer days. Second game was against yellow fever. That was a whole different game than the one before. We made it tough for ourselves and pressured ourselves to much. The long throws were not arriving and even we wanted to play the short ones, the hucks came out but never seem to reach the person aimed at… Just too many mistakes, even though we were far behind we never gave up and fought back. But well there was still the last pool game to play and nothing lost. We had a nice break, were all relaxing in the sun, enjoying the time. The last team in our pool was Dream Team. It was a great spirited close game. There were a couple of mistakes on both sides… Well outcome is a new rule invented by Combo: Drink a shot for a dropped pull. We had some really beautiful points, but also bad luck. Skrecok laid out for a  huck and hurt his shoulder badly. Too bad. Until then we started each game with the offense and the point was made by Beren throwing an overhead to Skrecok…

We tried to keep up and fought back but at the end the game was decided in universe and not for a good outcome for us. So by one point we had to say goodbye to upper pool and landed in bottom bracket.

It was still a really good game, from both sides. We were all really exhausted, stretched and thanks to Sara also did some yoga aerobic moves. Ask for the pics, they came out pretty nicely 😉

Since there were only 3 games, the evening was quiet long, we went to diner to a nice restaurant, talked about the special czech soup made out of the seven- oh no it was just 4 stomaches from a cow. It was a relaxed evening, we had so much time, that some went for a powernap, some played games and some went geocaching.

After that a small group went to the party and some already to bed. Yes there was a beerrace, some dancing, lots of drinks involved and well at the end, the girls had to take back Combo, with Beren walking next to them and singing : I would walk 500 miles. We all made it to the gym, don’t worry.

Edo seemed lost but he also made it back.

Sunday we started pretty early, the sun rising over the fields. We had a sleepy start against moulden frogs(whats their name translated??). They didn’t play that well, but we neither. Too many mistakes, I would call it a typical Sunday morning game, some tired, some still drunk. We got the defense a lot of times but couldn’t convert it into points. But there is to mention that Denda, Sara and Kiara did great defences and also some nice points, as well as the rest of the team of course .

After that we had a really long break, just hang out in  the sun, it was again really beautiful weather. Next up was mosquito attack. We were 2 points behind in the beginning but then started to play really fine ultimate. We worked us back. The defense straight  up until the middle, worked pretty well. And I learned that left is not the same left in defense than I know. Very interesting.

The end of the game was a universe, which was transformed quickly and we stayed calm and were not rushing it too much. Well deserved win.

The last game of the tournament was again not an easy match. Lol ultimate is just a great mixed team and the play well together. I have no idea what the others think, but I was pretty much wiped out and totally tired. We couldn’t really bring our offense through cause their defense was still very tight and they used every opportunity. We had to work really hard for the points, if we scored they were really nice. At the end, in the cap we gave them a hard fight and made the game longer. They won, but we didn’t give up at all, so a good 14th place. Everyone had lots of time to play and I have to say for myself that I learned a lot.

And Skrecok is the king of  flipping, winning streak throughout the whole tournament.

Our drive home was quiet relaxed, everybody really really tired but happy. It was a great weekend, with lots of fun.

Thanks

Doro
