6-02-16 HY: Tennis + Tennis + Splits + TCF.

Another double tennis day.  In the morning, I felt a little more sluggish than usual, but the sluggishness didn't affect my game until the second set.  I took the first set 6-2, but I was really mucking up the second set with a lot of dumb mistakes and unfocused strategies.  I eventually fell behind 1-4.  I really had to bear down, dig deep and push myself to focus and concentrate.  I wish I could say I stormed back, but in actuality, it was a scrappy and long fight to get even and then to take the set 6-4.  My legs were feeling really sore, and I'm sure it is from the resistance work I did on the universal machines on Tuesday.  Especially my hamstrings.  But that not withstanding, I had a good time.

In the afternoon, I was able to go to the club again because my night class was not scheduled.  There was a member missing so we were cycling out.  I played the first match and the third match.  The first match, we fell behind 1-4, but my partner and I eventually climbed our way out and even took the lead for a game, but ended up tied at 5-5.  This was for my first win at the club, but it was not to be.  With the club scoring, it is first to 6 and the other team was serving.  It was a good close match.  Last week, I had a cramp in my right calf, but tonight, I started to feel that tug in my left calf.  I was asked to play in the second match as well, but I declined and said I needed to rest and stretch.  So during the second match, I was doing a lot of stretching and drinking water.  At the beginning of the third match I was a bit cold so my first point was way off.  I think I double faulted and my form felt very weird.  But from that point on, I didn't drop my serve once.  It was a bit disappointing.  I was going for my first victory at the club, and we went up 3-1, but the other team came back and tied, and then we just exchanged serves until 5-5.  Then time ran out.  So my total record with the club is 0 wins, 4 loses, and 1 tie.  I won't be able to attend for the next three weeks because of work, so I'll be going for my first win on the last Thursday of June.  Wish me luck!

When I got home, I wanted to do my splits and Flow right after showering and dinner, but right after my shower, my son called and wanted to talk, so we talked for over an hour.  So my splits and Flow didn't happen until close to midnight.  Legs were really tight so the stretch felt good and painful.  I was able to get to my mark so I was satisfied.  The Flow also was as usual, right on point.  Clean and smooth.

In the end, after the two tennis sessions, I torched a big 2534kcals.  Happy Dance!!!
