I had a great time playing paintball yesterday, and while this was part of an
annual outing for the entire group, MrKawfy, Devicer, and I are determined to do it more
often going forward. I definitely should be in better shape for this, I didn't
get winded, but my legs were rubbery, so that's something I'll want to work on
for next time. I had the feeling I'd be a decent paintballer from all my gaming
experience if nothing else, and I thought I accounted for myself well. I won
one game as the last man standing, had a few other games where I was the
last one out on my team (including a last stand at a corner barrier where I
managed to hold off a bunch of them for a long time and take a few with me), and
a few matches where I wasn't shot, but ran out of air. As a forum post noted, I
am not blessed with any natural padding for this, so apparently coming away with
only a half-dozen welts (that I'm aware of) is probably good news too
(especially after playing a "to the pain" final round), but I do have nice little
badges of honor
on a shoulder, bicep, thigh, collarbone, and both forearms.
