7-11-18 (Wednesday) Tennis.

Today, the weather was almost perfect for tennis except for the humidity.  One big difference was the venue for the practice session.  For the first time, I got to play at the newly resurfaced Kamoike Public courts.  They are all hard courts so it was like coming home.  Everyone was worried that playing on the hard surface would make them more tired than on the Omni courts, but for me, I actually felt a little more energized.  Movement without sliding came back to me pretty quickly.  I didn't get a sense for what everyone else was feeling about the surface, but I hope everyone liked it so we can play there every Wednesday.

The menu was the same, starting with Volley/Stroke.  I went to volley first and got to do it the whole time.  The next round went up to three people so I was happy to have gotten in a good volley session.  For Serve/Return, I usually like to Return first so I can have uninterrupted serving practice in the next rounds, but people beat me to the spot so I started off serving.  But it worked out because there wasn't enough time to go for a second round, so I still got my serving in.  During the Serve round, I went up against one of the Elite and beat him at his own game.  I was so happy that I could out volley him.  Thankful for the extended volley practice today.

Finally, we went to game sims. I was also able to play well there because I was active and moved well.  Footwork was also good.  NO SAND!!!

I was leaving puddles everywhere I stood and remnants of raindrops where ever I played because the sweat was just pouring off of me.

In the end, I burned a good 1654 kcals.  Happy to be at and over 1500 for the Wednesday sessions.
