Chesapeake

Long drive down, even longer drive back (10hrs?).  Driving with Patrick, Joe, and Jonah was really fun, despite my back pains and traffic.  Jonah's hilarious.

As far as the ultimate...

We went 4-4 for the weekend, ending up 6th.  

Beat: Invictus (?), LOS (by one), El Diablo, Truck Stop (DGP)

Lost to: Chain, Machine (DGP), Ironside, GOAT

The Machine game felt pretty good, as did the ElDiablo game as we came out strong Sunday morning.  Even though we lost the Goat game by a good amount, it still felt like we had a handle on things, just had some really bad/stupid turns.  The Chain and Ironside games were just pretty embarrassing.  The O line just could not put it in, so we all got frustrated, and I got pretty unhappy and mad.  I HATE how I feel when this happens.  It's just so damn hard to lose to the same teams over and over because the line you play on just can't get it done.  All weekend I just felt like we were letting the team down when we didn't score...We can't be perfect, but we are not pulling our weight right now.  I also feel like I should be able to do more, but just struggle a lot with the vert stack resets.  BUT, hopefully we learned a thing or two.  One thing I learned is that we need to play more HO and change up the handler set for the vert so that we can use more of the field.  As of now, we don't break the mark much, so really, we just need to change things so that the field is used more with dumps and swings (easier resets.

Good to see Megan, Emily, Alex, Jake, and the hang with Baylis and Kanner a bit.  

I'm looking forward to Chicago.  It will go better.
