6-09-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

Back to my original Thursday schedule.  Tennis in the morning, then Splits and Flow at night after my night class.  Because of that night class, no tennis club for the next three weeks. But that just gives me something to look forward to so I'll be happy.

The gym was rather humid today.  Fortunately it wasn't that hot.  But it will get there in the weeks to come.  Then, I'll have to bring a few shirts to change into or my sweat will pool up right there on the baseline.  But as for today's tennis, the extra day of tennis on Monday is helping with my focus and concentration, I felt.  The more often I play, the better I play.  Once a week is barely enough to maintain a certain level.  Twice a week will allow me to reach a groove faster and I certainly felt that today.  Warm up was short and then we started to bang the ball.  Recently, I've been using my loose racket because of control issues at the other venue.  So to get used to that racket, I'm using that one more.  It was a great session, but right in the middle, we both stepped off the train and lost focus and concentration and the balls were either flying to the back wall or junking into the net.  But we quickly climbed out of that funk and started playing better.  There was also a weird feeling like a bruised muscle in my right quad.  Almost like a pre-cramp.  Nothing happened, but it was throbbing some.  That feeling started right before the session while I was climbing the stairs.  Odd, but I got through with no incident.  The score ended up being 6-2, 4-1.  Didn't have much time today, but play was intense.

After the night class, I got to my splits and Flow.  Everything seemed to be firing on all cylinders, so I was happy.

In the end, I torched a good 1010kcals, but that is only for the tennis. No HRM in the evening.
