curling

Fun game at the club tonight. I did okay, but we were down for the entire game, they would win an end and score 3 while when we won one we would score 1. Our second and vice weren't there, but we had a good sub. The team we were playing against also had only 3 players. This worked well for me because my first rock would be short, my second through the house, and my third usually nearish to where it was supposed to go. (Usually everyone throws 2 rocks an end, but if you only have 3 people on a team the first two will each throw 3 rocks.) At the end of the 7th end we're down 4 to 8. (For those of you who are not curlers this is very bad, you most often score 1-3 points an end, 3 is quite good). Anyway in the eighth end all of our rocks were in play, 7 of them in the house, 2 or 3 in the four-foot, and we ended up scoring 5 and winning the game. Our skip gave me a high-five and then said "you know we're not supposed to do that right?" (you're not supposed to celebrate winning or more correctly celebrate the other team losing in curling, good sportsmanship is very important.) It was pretty damn cool though.
