and...

Nationals:-
...we lost in the semi-final to my old Joburg team. Drat.
...we were unbeaten in the 6 pool matches though, and i was very happy with how i played. Had a great hammer throw to score against Khaya, and a full length layout score against Disc-functional.
Read the report in the local press here, as well as a podcast with my captain (Brent) and others on the state of Ultimate in SA.
Next up is Worlds in Vancouver in August. We are sending two teams and if i can find the cash i'll be playing for the open team at Worlds. That would be awesome!


CPE:-
If it took more than a week for me to blog about ultimate, then i must be really busy with CPE! I am. It's manic, hard and uncomfortable, but still very good. We had our Mid-term Evaluations last week, and it's amazing to see how far we have all come in 6 weeks.
This weekend i didn't get to rest either, as i was doing a Coma-Care course - how to care for and communicate with patients in comas. Pretty intense! For the rest of CPE one of my wards will now be the neurosurgery ward and the neurosurgery ICU. Wish me luck as i 'chaplain' comatose patients!
It's a pity i don't have time to write up some of my experiences here, as they really are stretching and messy and alive. Maybe i'll take a 2 week holiday when i'm done and let you in on the adventure that is CPE at Groote Schuur.

For now though, it's back to work. I've got a verbatim to write for tomorrow, as well as the daily CPE reflections. Expect a bit of silence on this blog for the next few weeks.
