Pretty good day. Felt pretty tired, but work was fine. Steve came and observed for my last two patients, which was cool.
After work, we hung out at the apt for a while. My calf gradually felt better during the day, so I decided to give Speedball a go. So we went to Big 5 to get a playground ball, then the hunt beer.
The non-run hunters: me, Steve, Hammer and Mr Roberts - met the other hunters - Emily, CB, Cliff, Dano, Katniss, and Tommy - at the elementary school by Amazon to play Speedball.
Speedball is a game both Steve and I played in PE in high school: a cross between soccer, basketball and ultimate frisbee, played on a basketball court. Points can be scored by a basket or a touchdown.
Steve and I were captains...and I lost the whole night on the first pick. I took Hammer instead of Mr Roberts, who was selected by Steve. Both MrR and Steve are 6'4" and they KILLED US. That is to say, they were unstoppable in the paint on the occasional hoop shots, while we desperately held our own on touchdowns.
We played best of three to ten (and later 11, by two). We lost 10-8, then 13-11. Fuck.
I played like shit: I air-balled about six shots, got another three rejected, and turned the ball over that led to the match-winning point. UGH.
I hate losing. But it was still fun. Enjoyed some beers at the school right afterwards, then headed back.
BIG post-hunt, as Lewis and Matt joined for the pure social.
Calf was OK. Sore during but not bad, but a lot more sore afterward.
