November 14, Wednesday - Tennis + Chin-Up Challenge + Pickle-Ball.
Today was night tennis. It was a particularly good session in terms of play-time because the number of people that attended was much smaller than usual. So we got a lot of on-court drill time. Almost no waiting time so I was really pushing to keep it going. I was called to play a match to practice the teams playing in the next tournament. We were playing fine, but the other team was just playing better and we lost 1-4. The only game we won was my service game in the second game. We had our opportunities, but for several points, lady luck was on the other team's side.
When I got home, I was feeling rather tired, but I pumped out the required number of Chin-Ups then took a shower. When I got out of the shower I relaxed and then my daughter came down for her study break and wanted to play Pickle-Ball. Long ago, I promised myself to never say no to my kids if they wanted to play with me (unless I was sick or something like that) so even though I was tired, I said yes, and we played for almost an hour. I also got sweaty again. But it was great fun, so I was glad I played.
For the tennis, I burned 1699 kcals. A good but high burn which tells me I'm still at an unfit level. I can feel it. I'm getting too winded too quickly. I need to get back some endurance and stamina.
