2-02-17 HY: Pickle-Ball + Splits + TCF.
In the Insanity MAX 30 program schedule, today is either a rest day, or a Pulse day. But in my schedule, today it PICKLE-BALL DAY!!! It has been over a month since I played last, but I was hoping my first week of MAX 30 would pay some dividends.
We started off a little slow, serve going back and forth, trading points. But I eventually took the first game 15-13. Then I fell apart. I allowed him to grab a big lead right off in the beginning, and I couldn't string two points together for almost the whole game. Although, in the end, I fought back to get to a respectable point count, I was behind the whole game. I lost 11-15. I just couldn't close the gap. I guess that loss got my fire going, because in the next game, I jumped out to a good lead and extended it. A little lull in my play allowed one point and a few service changes, but I ended the third game winning 15-1. The last game was a little more competitive and it stayed pretty close most of the time. I ended up winning 15-9. We were off to start, but we sort of found our feel for the game and we ended up having some amazing rallies and playing some incredible shots while scoring some valuable points. So much FUN!!! The great thing is that my classes are all done. I just have to get my grades in and I'm free! So we could play for as long as we could hold up. The gym was frigid cold, so we didn't want to stay too long, but it was a a great time, just over 2 hours.
I did my Splits in the evening. I have talked about it a lot, but have never done it. I always wanted to add an extra round on the splits but never did it. Today, I did it. I did an extra round of stretching which was painful, but in the good way. I also did a lot more Flows. Felt good.
In the end, the Pickle-Ball torched a good 1020kcals. I was hoping for more bacause we played longer, but I guess, because of the temperature in the gym, it took us longer to warm up and get it going. Can't wait for next time!
