11-01-16 HY:  Pickleball + Splits + TCF.

 Second time for me to play Pickleball in Japan.  Great fun to play singles as well.  After a nice warm up, we started to play games. This time, I took the first two games and he took the third.  I had a lead by a point, 8-7 in the fourth game when we had to call it quits because of the time.  The first game was close, 15-12. I was red hot in the second game and took it 15-4.  But I must have been tired out and lost 13-15 in the third.  I was behind most of the way in the last set, but came back to take an 8-7 lead, only to have to end because of time.  I also think I hurt something in my joints in my pelvis and possibly knees.  I was running to get a shot and then after hitting it, I did a "Stop-on-a-dime to turn to switch dirctions, then, OUCH!!! The joints in my knees and my hip flexors felt like they were overly compressed.  It happened to me in the USA when I had to stop instead of hitting a parked car.  Just got a weird step down.  But shook it off and finished out the session.  A lot of incredible shots, and I trying different strategies and shot combinations to fool my opponent.  Great fun!!!

Splits and Flow, came at night, and I had a great session.  The splits felt really strong, but my hip flexors seemed to be really tight.  I'm marking it up to the hip jam.  But great session.   The Flow was awesome as well.

In the end, I torched 1017kcals from the Pickleball.  Fun and a great method of exercise!
