6-01-18 (Friday) Pickle-Ball.

Today, I just felt off.  I was struggling to keep a lead.  In the first game I started out fast and jumped out to a quick lead, but then lost it.  Then I regained it, then lost it.  I eventually took the first game, 15-11.   The next game was a lot of the same, but the last time I lost the lead, I lost it and the game, 8-15.  But I think to lose a game that early in our session woke me up a lot, because the last two games, I was ON FIRE!  I took that last two games, 15-5 and 15-3.  But the weird thing about today's matches was that three times, THREE TIMES!!! John hit a lob with a lot of backspin and I misjudged it because when the ball hit the floor, it spun away from me and I either couldn't hit it or I hit it into the net.  What is that old saying, "Fool me once, Shame on you.  Fool me Twice, Shame on me."  What happens if I get fooled by the exact same shot three times???  Do I get shafted?  But despite that, it was a lot of fun.

In the end, I burned 939 kcal.  The gym is still relatively cool, so I'm not burning as much as I will when the gym gets hotter.  But I'm not looking forward to the sauna-like conditions in the gym.
