11-17-15 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.
Today was a tennis day with my regular playing partner back in the gym. It was good to get back to playing on a familiar and predictable surface, but I know it will be difficult to adjust again when I play on the other surfaces... normal surfaces. I was playing well, and took the first set 6-2, then I decided to push myself a little and gave my opponent a 2 point advantage at the beginning of each game. That would force me to push to get the points right away and find ways to stay in the game and fight back from big deficits. Well, I lost the next set 4-6, but I won the final set 6-4. It was difficult playing at that disadvantage, but I liked the challenge. I didn't worry about losing the match in the long term, I had to focus on each point right in the moment. I couldn't afford loose points. I had to make myself focus and play hard each point. Winning the first point became very important because coming back from 0-40 down is a lot more difficult mentally than 15-40.
At home later in the evening, I was able to really push again on my splits, and have a smooth and clean Flow.
In the end, I torched over 900kcals from the tennis alone.
