1-24-18 (Wednesday) HY: Tennis + TCF.

Regular tennis day.  We were supposed to play near my home today, but the forecast said SNOW! so we moved to the indoor facility.  Luckily, it didn't snow, but the temperature dropped drastically below -0C.  And it was pretty cold indoors as well, just with no wind.  I got two of my rackets restrung so I was anxious to try at least one of them out tonight.  And I did.  It felt good, but I was hoping for a little more pop off the strings, but I'll keep working on it.  One racket I had, had really loose strings, so I actually bit the bullet, cut them, and then had it restrung.  So three of my rackets are all at the same spec tension.  I'll try the other on on Sunday.  Then, the plan is to rotate them as I play day-by-day.

I did a lot better this time around.  I was able to get the good strokes in and I was able to work on every part of my game.  I was able to get my long lost serve practice in, too.  Everyone rotates in and out of the line, and when it is my turn, I serve around 4-5 balls.  Today, I got all my serves in except for about one each time at the line.  But the very last serve I hit...  FELT SO GOOD!!!  And it was so good that it solicited a applause and cheers from the people behind me in line.  I was serving from the Ad court and I hit a flat serve out wide and pegged the middle of the outer line.  It was a clean FREEZE serve, meaning the guy receiving my serve didn't even have time to move, or even flinch in the direction of the ball.  And the receiver is one of the best players in the club.  Then, during the Point Sims, I won a good number of points off of a better team.  It was a great night.

I got in the Flow series after getting home and showering.

In the end, I burned 1200+kcals.  Even though it was cold, I sweat a good amount.  I wore a new lined outer jacket that kept me warm, so I was happy.
