Today is Pickle-Ball Day!

This time, we got started on time and were playing at a fast pace.  We got in a total of FIVE games.  Also, due to the fact that I did not have my afternoon class, we were able to extend out playing time a bit to fit in that last game.  But actually, we didn't need that much extra time.

In the first game, I jumped out to a big 8-1 lead, but for some reason, I lost focus or lost something, I let that lead slip away and ended up losing the game, 10-15.  But I came roaring back in the second game and was really aggressive at took that game 15-2.  To make a long story short, here are the scores of the remaining three games.  15-11, 15-8, 15-4.  I guess losing that first game lit a fire under me and I got to it.  But an interesting side story is that my opponent just got a Fitbit and throughout the whole session we were comparing notes regarding calories burned and heart rate.  Me, having about 10% more body fat burned about 15% more calories.  Stamina is still a factor with me.  I find myself breathing heavily between points.  Much more heavily that my opponent.  But I am able to calm and get back to the game.  Great match today.  I really want to go for that sweep, though.

In the end, I torched a good 1200+kcals.  I thought I would be sorer because of the resistance yesterday.  I was sore, but debilitatingly so, so I was good to go.
