Today was supposed to be on the hard courts, but due to a summer festival in the area, and the fact that there would be no parking around the courts, forced us to move the practice session to another facility which just happened to be the indoor facility. Unfortunately, there is no convection in the indoor facility so it was like a steam sauna there. So, again, in order to preserve my shoes from becoming the intake of a sweat-falls, I used the spandex. It worked like a charm. I was also using a new Arm sleeve to keep the sweat from my arm in check so it wouldn't drip down past my wristband and soak the grip on my racket. Also worked well, but I still had to switch rackets almost midway through.
There was a new record of 24 people in attendance but luckily there were two courts and we kept a good rotating pace so there was a lot of good practice. The menu was regular but I am now in preparation mode as of last Sunday so every stroke, every rally, every service is, in my mind, in a real game situation. I have just over three weeks to prepare and I have to up my mental game and not give in to fear, doubt, or pressure.
Here is a picture of my serve. It is supposed to be a GIF, but it doesn't seem to be moving.
In the end, I burned 1477 kcals.
