Istanbul Ultimate.

Remember when I talked about my Ultimate family? And that I managed to finagle using professional work leave days to play in a tournament in Georgia? Apparently my love for this sport keeps crossing new lines. I might've planned part of my vacation to play. And, by might've, I did.

In Istanbul, I played with Turk Kasi and it was incredible. The Turks are hardcore, to say the least. Please note in the picture we're all dripping wet. That's because we played for about an hour in a torrential downpour. And, then, continued to play in the aftermath. Also, that was after an hour of normal play. With no subs. Or real breaks. It was probably, though, one of the most memorable Ultimate games I've taken part in and would love to play with them again. Something about trudging through mudpuddles and barely being able to see made it an incredible and amusing time.
