Today I played in the newly formed GFOA series with some good buddies from two teams I played on over the last couple of years. The current team is Dynamic, made up of old members of Dynamic, the original Havok, and of course Team Twisted.
The capt. of the team was nice enough to offer me a standing invitation to play with them any time. It worked out that they thought they would be short of players due to the finacial situation of one of them. Luckily for me five others showed up and I was only needed as an alternate.
It was great to get on the field at that level again. We played in the open division and several of the teams we came up against were really good. I played anchor/home in the three games I participated in. I got clipped hanging my marker out in the first game while reloading...newbie mistake, did really well controlling lanes in the second, and held my own for a while till I went down in a gun battle in my third.
My mobility needs to be a bit better as I was having problems bumping out to secondaries, and in that third game it really cost us. I would have been in a much better position to defend and prevent movement in a bunker I was unsure of my ability to get to quick enough.
Overall it was a great experiance and it fed the fire for me to get up, get out and get back on track. Although my "leg" sure does hurt now...lol.
Its kind of funny, eveyone saw me limping and kept telling me to "walk it out". To avoid undue attention I just went along. It is one hell of a twisted ankle.
