9-29-15 HY: Tennis + Weight Machines + Splits + TCF.

FINALLY got back to some tennis.  Glad to be back, but after almost a month of no playing, I wasn't expecting to much, and rightfully so.  It took some time to get used to playing on the slick floor in the gym.  Timing-wise it was tough. But we got a short match in which I took 6-4, 6-4.  But it should have been better.  I was up 4-2 in the first set, but just lost it over the next two games and struggled to close it out.  We were 2-2 in the second.  I went up to 5-2, 40-love, then I fell apart, losing the next two games, eventually taking it 6-4.  But my concentration is just off.  I need to play more matches to get it back up.  But there were some really good shots on both ends of the court.  And, unfortunately, some real bad ones as well.  But it's a process.  I have to be patient and go with it.

I had some time so I went into the weight machine room after the tennis and pumped some iron.  I did pull ups (12), chest presses (60-80-100kgs at 12-10-8 reps), squats (80-90-130kgs all at 10 reps), lat pull-downs (40-50kgs at 10 reps each), and calf extensions (100kgs 3 sets of 10 reps).  My back was getting a bit sore, so I quit there.  But my legs were shaking at the end.  Good quick pump out.

At home, later that day, I did my splits and Flow.  All as good as usual.

In the end, I was REALLY MAD because I forgot to pack my HRM so I don't have a record for today or a calorie burn number.  But I would guess that it was close to 900kcals for the tennis and weights.  I need a recovery day!
