July 29- August 4

Wednesday July 29-Went to pickup but unhappy with number and rain I did a little workout instead. Can't fully remember everything but involved short sprints and shuffles. Also like we did at forge practice the one day with sprinting ten yard then cutting back to the line then sprinting 20 yards. I did this the whole way to 30 yards and added someone throwing a disc to me on my cuts back in. This is how I did them at school and are just used to them this way. Then I did 25s slow for first 15ish then faster last 10.

Tuesday August 4-Forge scrimmage with Impulse

New York Invite- Forge came in with the 10th seed. We had something to prove. Our results at CUT (a tryout tournament for us) were questioned. Our poor Sunday play outside of beating Pony was in question at Boston. Overall it didn't matter much to me as long as we were in the elite bracket which we were. We started off against Goat, a very good team we played in Boston. While Goat was missing some of their big players getting to play them was still good. Goat won on a close game. I was able to stick on their handlers all day. Next game was Sons. Well Forge fucked up we gave them an 8-1 half. After that we decided that we were going to play and the final score was 11-10 Sons. Why do we do stupid things like that ahh. Then onto Rhino. I think every matchup was a win for us. They just couldn't handle us. Score was still close but Forge won 10-8. The last point that was scored on hardcap would prove to be huge for us. Last game of the day was against Pony the team in Boston we had to piss off with coming back down 4-1 on Saturday to winning Sunday morning. They came out firing and we just didn't stay with them. I was pretty happy with my play in this game especailly. It was the last game of the day and I was still feeling great. 2 other handlers were hurt and couldn't play so that brought us down to 5 handlers I was getting a ton of reps and doing good things with them. At one point I played 6ish points in a row where I threw 3 hucks that were scored on the catch or the next throw, and my defense was still good. Forge ended 1-3 along with Rhino and Sons and because we had the best point diff we came away with 3 place in our bracket.
I am not even going to talk about Sunday. The first game and half were good but after that conditions were terrible till we got kicked off the field. In the end Forge came out with tied for 5th place.
