It’s been five days since Saturday and I can finally walk pain free now. I had an epic tennis match on the weekend in the finals of the 2007 Men’s 4.5 tennis championship. It was a windy day which is really hard for tennis but I did manage a win in the finals. The first set is always tough because you are in a feeling out stage. You don’t know what weapons your opponent has and you are still battling the nerves and anticipation. I won the first set 7-5 but it was really close. I was blown out of the water for the 2nd set. I got bageled 0-6 but did manage to bounce back for a 6-3 win for the final set.

The prize isn’t too great but the bragging rights is priceless.

I thought I was fit but there’s not much to prepare for a 2.5 hour match except for playing. A stationary bike can help with the fitness but nothing can replicate the quick bursts, finesse, and power of a tennis match.
