Day 115
Last weekend my girlfriend Katie and I traveled to Hangzhou, China for an ultimate frisbee tournament. OK, to set the record straight, she played and I came to watch. This was a “hat tournament,” where teams are chosen somewhat randomly, although they make sure every team has a few experienced players and some beginners to balance it out. It was a fun tournament with lots of competitive play. I broke out my telephoto lens to photograph one of Katie's games. Here are the highlights:
(There is a link to the full photo set at the end of this post.)
Hangzhou is a city of 8.8 million (21 million in the metropolitan area).
Katie's team for the hat tournament was called “The Biters.”

The basketball players stopped their game to check out the ultimate game.
