Muggle Quidditch

Today's two-hour practise was intense! From beater drills to the extremely muddy field, it was great.

I am not going to go into details, but I will leave you with these:

Muddy legs and shoes. Those shoes looked new[ish] going into today's practise.

We even broke our first broom today. Good on Omar!

Afterwards, we decided the broom was eerily similar to the broken sword (Narsil) in Lord of the Rings. It was joked that we should mend it for the Quidditch World Cup.

Omar had a great face.

I think the broken broom is a sign that we are ready for the game against University of Victoria on 4 February! Also, there is a 50/50 chance that our jerseys will come in on time for the game. Here is the logo:

My jersey will say "Danos θ" (or if we need real numbers, I will be "Danos 72").

Also, we gathered together, and, in trying to figure out what to shout out on three, I say "Thunderbolts" thinking it might be our team name (our team name is, duh, the Thunderbirds). But, we may use Thunderbolts as our broom stick names, which would rock.

And and and we are starting to get broom blisters.

And... for the game, Erica and I are first string beaters! (Even though our, what, 4 beaters [if that] are all pretty darn good, and we all are getting better!)

Also! Here are the beginnings of a Beater drill infograph that I am trying to make:
