February 13, 2019, Wednesday - Tennis.
There was another rain scare, but it stopped early enough so the courts were totally dry by 7 pm. It was a very warm day, no coat necessary, but there was an extreme chill in the air at night. I had sort of dressed thinking it would be a little warmer, but I was wrong and I felt chilly most of the night. Plus, my legs were so sore from doing Legs yesterday. I knew it was going to affect my mobility especially, but I was pretty sure I would feel it in all aspects of my game. I was right.
I wasn't able to move my feet as quickly and just taking steps towards that ball was tough and painful. I was trying to keep my moaning and groaning to a low rumble. But good strokes were few and far between. For my serve, I was just not getting anything in. I couldn't jump to the ball and I was unstable on my stance, to begin with, so my base was mucking up the whole thing. But that first hour and some change must have loosened me up some because when I started to play a match, I was moving much better and smoother and my serve was finally starting to go in. I won my first two service games almost both at Love. But I must have tired because my third game was junk and I hit 4 double-faults giving the game away.
It was a warm day in the afternoon, but it got very chilly at night. I was dress expecting a warmer temperature, but I got cold. That probably had some effect on my play as well.
In the end, I burned a good 1377 kcals. Again, not too bad for a winter's night.
