Fartlek and Ultimate Frisbee Update 3

I’m watching “I Bleed Black” right now as I get ready to go to a fund raiser that Laura and two friends are running (Breast Cancer).

While watching all the hot outdoor Ultimate action I started to wonder if all my Fartlek work will pay off for outdoor. It’s definitely working for indoor, but the two games are quite different when it comes to intensity. Indoor is quick-point, so play starts immediately after a point is scored, so you’re always on the go. Outdoor gives you a lot more time to recover after a point. My guess is that I’ll see a nice boost in outdoor as well, but we’ll have to wait about a month to see.

I figure that the next thing to work on it sport specific strength training.

A couple of observations about I Bleed Black:
- they swear a lot
- they had a surprising number of really bad high fives, awkward and embarrassing :)
- they dive on d like crazy… really amazing stuff
