Monday July 9th

I almost forgot! I got up really early on Monday morning and met my buddy Malcolm at Central Park to get some tossing in.

When I thought about it, I couldn't remember the last time I threw before Monday. I still can't remember, THIS, is bad. If you ask yourself "when was the last time I threw?" and your answer isn't at the least "yesterday," be prepared for a shock the next time you put a disc in your hand.

Malcolm and I threw for about 45 minutes and my backhand was terrible for about 35 of those minutes. It was either turfing every time, or floating up too high above him - and I was only about 10-15 yards away.

I have been throwing discs since I was 15, that's 12 years ago for those of you who are not so hot at math. And the small break in my throwing was enough to decimate my skill level for an entire 35 minutes. What would've happened if I had a game to play and only 20 minutes to warm up? I would've gone into a game after having turfed all of my throws, that's what. And that is NOT a good feeling.

Please, throw EVERY day. If you come back next season and aren't AT LEAST at the skill level you were at by the end of Spring, I will be sorely disappointed.
