Figured I’d post my latest experiment with P101 back here again ~
Playing Ultimate (once again) - I will try it at work eventually, I just wake up too late to even remember to put on my A314/IS combo most of the time.
A314/IS in the morning before work (standard 2 drops 2 sprays) - probably a little A314 still hanging around come game-time @ 6:00pm
Applied 4 sprays P101 to Neck and behind ears
Outdoor conditions - Light Wind, about 15-20 degrees, partly cloudy but the sun was already starting to go down
SELF - EFFECTS -
Similar to last time I felt really “INTO” the game right from the start. Found I was able to just see the whole field when I was throwing and being blocked (I tend to have difficulty finding people when I am marked) - Overall I found my level of focus was just one gear higher than normal. During one particularily long point I distincly remember coming back to the sideline and barely being able to breathe I had played so hard.
EFFECTS ON OTHERS -
Initially team morale/motivation seemed fairly standard - There is a bunch of new people on the team for fall league. I did notice that everyone just seemed to start meshing and we started really playing together better after the first time-out (the first time most of the team sat around me for any period of time).
ONE NEGATIVE EFFECT I HAVE NOTICED - While overall focus, I’d call it “Big Picture” focus seems to improve - I have noticed that I tend to lose a little bit of detail focus. I find it really improved my ability to see the field, see where the frisbee is going - where it should go, but when it actually comes to catching the frisbee (really zoning in on the frisbee - detail focus) - I tend to be a little fumbly fingered initlally after exposure to P101 (I noticed this last time as well, but thought it was maybe just a bad day). Right after half-time (where my team would have gotten the highest exposure to P101) I found that people always seemed to be in the right place or throwing to the right place but we were dropping the frisbee like mad.
CAVEAT - it seems like the overall focus boost lasts longer than the fine detail focus loss.
