Guam Ultimate For All (GUFA) Hat Tournament 2015

Nick PalomoLeave a comment

After being introduced to Ultimate Frisbee a few years ago I look forward to the annual Hat tournament. A hat tournament is a random team event. Players are placed on teams based on ability which makes all the teams balanced (on paper). The event lasts the whole weekend with a round robin tournament on Saturday and a beach tournament on Sunday. Each day has a different format and different teams. Guam Ultimate For All (GUFA) also has events during the weekend. They have a costume party on Saturday night which is related to the tournament theme. A meet and greet is also held on Friday; you can pick up your jersey and meet your team mates.

The tournament was held on May 23 and May 24, with this years theme being “Space Hookers”.  The jersey logo was cool but I was hoping for more neon colors for the teams. The field tournament was held at Leo Palace Resort. This place is great, the grass is soft which makes for great layout plays. The beach day was held at the Jimmy Dee’s beach bar. 
I like playing Ultimate Frisbee on days that I take off from CrossFit. I enjoy the cardio workout since I do not run as often. It’s not a full rest day but it’s better than sitting at home. If you’re on Guam and interested in playing some Ultimate Frisbee, leave a comment on the bottom. Check out some of the pictures from the tournament below. 

CrossFit Media Review: The Wodcast Podcast

The WODcast Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by three guys who are knowledgeable in CrossFit. Armen Hammer is the one of the owners and coach of CrossFit 818, Eddie Ifft is stand up comedian and Scott McGee is a LAPD Officer. Each week they have different guests from the fitness world. CrossFit affiliate owners, CrossFit games athletes, nutritional experts and strongman athletes are some of the guests you will hear from each week.

The WODcast Podcast is one of the shows I look forward to every week. Each episode is packed with entertainment, laughs and knowledge. The episodes feel like conversations between gym members and not a lecture. The hosts do not take CrossFit or themselves too seriously which makes for a more relaxed atmosphere. The show segments are varied and depend on that weeks guest. Their is also listener participation in the form of “The Question of the Week (QDub)” and “The Lightning Round”. These segments relate to the weekly guest with the lightning round questions coming from listeners. If you would like to participate in these questions, like and comment on their Facebook page and Instagram. They usually post the questions right before the show every week.
