10-15-17 (Sunday) Tennis.

Today was a big tennis day.  It was my new tennis club's yearly event.  First time for me, though.  We went to a park that was about a 2 hour drive away from the city, so I had to wake up at like 5:45am on a SUNDAY to catch my ride at 6:45am.  Luckily I had packed everything for the outing the night before. 

The facility was really nice, but we had to set up the nets on the courts and do all that prep.  When we opened the door to the shack where the nets were kept, cockroaches fell from the top of the door.  We all sort of just jumped back shocked, freaked, and there wasn't a lack of shouts and shrieks, either.  An these babies were HUGE!!!  They reminded me of those Scarabs in The Mummy movie, they were that huge!!!  But we finally got everything set up and the practice started.  There were a lot of first timers, so it was fun getting to know them and the regular member I haven't talked to yet.  The tennis practice was great, except for the fact that the wind was very strong.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to "Catch the wave" or "Ride my Rhythm".  I hit my share of good and great shots, but I couldn't sustain a long rally.  We played for around four hours, but the good thing was that it was forecast to rain, so the clouds were thick.  But thankfully, it didn't rain.  So, the conditions were as follows:  Cloudy, windy, and cool.  I didn't even sweat that much.  After the tennis, we all moved to a large cabin the club had rented and had a BBQ.  It was delicious, and I was able to control myself and not over eat.  In fact, I stuck mostly with the veggies.  But I did have some beef and chicken.

When I got home, I was dead tired, so there was no extra workout afterwards.

In the end, I torched over 2000kcals.  Not a bad day's of work.
