5-11-18 (Friday) Pickle-Ball.

Today was the day that I look forward to all week.  I love playing tennis, but Pickle-Ball is game day, not just practice and drills.  We played four games, and to make a long story short, for the second time in a row, I was able to sweep all the games.  Today, though, during the warm-up, I was feeling pretty locked in with my strokes and with my footwork.  I started off hot and jumped to a big lead, but I seemed to gas out a bit trying to do some different drop shots and what not.  I ended up losing the big lead but finally closed it out, 15-11.  In the second game, I decided to just go all out and smash everything I could the paddle on.  I didn't let up, peddle to the metal type of stuff.  I took the game 15-5.  The next game, I just kept it going, but I decided to change my strategy a bit and go for the severe angles.  It was great because everything was just going in.  Once I got the lead, I just didn't give it up, 15-7.  In the final game, I think I was a bit gassed out and I was getting a bit sloppy.  I wanted to really finish with a bang though, so I pushed it and went all out.  Incredible shots from both ends of the court so it was knock-down-drag-out FUN!!!

In the end, I burned a good 828 kcals.  Got to love it!
