5-16-18 (Wednesday) Tennis.

5-16-18 (Wednesday) Tennis.

Today, was almost perfect conditions for playing outside.  On top of that, the practice was at the close courts today so I was happy for the short drive to the courts.  Just a couple of glitches: 1. the humidity, and 2. court lighting on one court.  The humidity was quite palpable and when there is a lot of humidity, there are a lot of bugs swarming around the lights.  Which means that there are a lot of bugs flying around us.  All of us were constantly flailing our arms and rackets around to keep the bugs away.   But at the beginning of the practice, I was able to warm up with a good consistent member and we were banging it out.  It was really fun.  Even though the humidity was high, the temperature was cool.  So bugs notwithstanding, it was good conditions.  We had two courts, but for some reason, one of the courts' lights were noticeably dimmer than the other.  That made it all the more difficult to see the ball when on that court.  But the positive takeaway is that it forced us to focus a lot harder than if the lights were brighter.  Overall, it was a good session.

In the end, I burned only 1409 kcals.  I think the temps are having an influence on the calorie burn.
