Dive In

After Cary forced a fortunate turnover just as the opposing team was poised to score, we were in perfect position to counterattack. The man I was marking hadn't turned around quickly enough to catch up with me so I crossed the half line unguarded and called for Cary to send me the disc. Cary saw me and he saw Suzy, who was even further up the field and was being guarded by my wife. Another member of our team was coming up the other side of the field from me.

Cary tossed the disc which went high and then curved away from me and toward Suzy. I ran strong toward it, then noticed Suzy was vying for it too, so I pulled off. Just then Suzy pulled off too, apparently deciding it was beyond her reach.

So I did what had to be done: Kicking myself into a quick sprint I closed the gap as best as I could, sprinting slightly to the side of Suzy, and then leaped and dove for the disc. I was fully extended and caught the disc with only the tips of two fingers and the thumb of my right hand. The landing was exquisite--at least a few feet of slide without even a hint of tumble--and was even better with my wife watching just a few yards away. Quickly rising to my feet, I saw my other teammate in the end zone for a short pass and the score.

Never mind that it was just one play, that was The Zone, Perfection, Lion's Share, Special Feature, Something to Write Home About.

So my question to you is, What makes you feel "spot on"?
