6-30-16 HY: Tennis + Tennis + Splits + TCF.
Tennis Day today! And I mean, another BIG tennis day, today!!!
Regular morning session for about 90 minutes. It was good, but something seemed a bit odd. We usually rev ourselves up and after a short warm up, really start banging the ball around. But today, for some reason, neither me nor my partner seemed to feel the urgency and the warm up lasted a lot longer than usual. Then once we started to play, our strokes seemed a bit tentative and held back. There was a point that we were hitting out, but we couldn't sustain it. But that not withstanding, I still torched just over 1000kcals in the morning session. I was able to take the first set 6-1, and we didn't even finish the second set. I actually just totally forgot to keep score after being up 2-0. Perhaps one thing that contributed to my sluggishness was the fact that my legs, glutes and knees were a bit achy. No excuses though.
In the early evening, since I didn't have my night class, I went to tennis club. It had been three weeks since I last went. And this time, I invited my morning playing partner to come. We got paired together for the first two matches and we lost 3-6 and 1-6. That second set, something just wasn't clicking. But it was still fun. We immediately noticed how different we both played in an actual game situation. What's more, doubles tennis. There is a whole new dynamic to doubles over singles. But having played doubles with the club a couple times before, I think I'm getting the mentality back of playing with a partner. But as I was watching my friend play, it was obvious that he has never played doubles. I didn't feel it was appropriate for me to coach him today. I figured I just let me experience it for now. Then maybe next time, give some tips. I FINALLY got my first club win tonight. Actually two wins. I was so happy! Got that monkey off my back! It was a really fun session. Just under 3 hours.
I got my Splits and Flow in later that evening. Everything went well and low.
In the end, after two sessions of tennis, I torched over 2700kcals! Burn Burn BUUUURN!!!
