Wounded!

Game was running long. We were tied and capped, with the next point winning the game. The other team almost scored twice. Then I took it back our way, passed it to one of our better throwers midfield, and saw a clear chance to score: I had a three step advantage on my (young, fast, taller) check. A long sprint, but do-able, so I bolted.

The pass was good enough, high and fast over my head as we entered the end zone, a hard catch. I did my maximum vertical at speed and touched it, but my mark had caught up to me and managed to tap the disc on the back edge before I could get a grip, shooting it to the back of the end zone and probably impossible to salvage, especially after coming down from a big jump. But came down still sprinting and laid out. I snagged the disk, about six inches off the ground, in bounds, scoring for the win with an extremely improbable catch that must have looked really great — everyone went nuts, even the other team. Total Friction Gloves catch!
