That looks tasty! Saw that pizza on the Wash Post Express or something. Was it worth it.

Well, did day 1 of the Mclean Racket and Health Club Member/Guest tourney.

Don't think I embarrassed myself, but me and my partner didn't win any matches either. We played 2 1/2 matches (pro-set 10) and it seems like we would just lose momentum at 5 or 6 all. My partner was a really nice guy. It was fun, but I'm still not close to Shiloh champion form.

Also need a new string job - Lux M2 picked the perfect time to go super-dead. Might need to drop the poly for the time being. Might need to look at Rip Control.

by proxy. yes. some poor fool paid me for my number and the privilege of running as the great tennismonkey - TM (patent pending).

i think i want somebody to run a marathon now as me. all the glory. none of the annoying sweating and training.

sapient007 · 10-22-2012, 04:55 AM

it was good fun. lots of ppl on a beautiful day. i did not run for team TM but the results are below:

tm-wife: 1:38:43
tm: 1:42:20

congrads sap and tm for finishing. Those are the times from start to end, right?

My right arm has officially fell off after my first full time hit with my near 13 oz sticks. After 2 hours of hitting, I think my shoulders has separated from the rest of my body. I went home and shed 1.5 oz of lead. Now down to 11.5 only.

Ouch! The dangers of lead addiction.

Well I finally switched up my tennis clinic from the 3.0-3.5 group to the 4.0-4.5 group. Our instructors ran some conditioning drills that would have made Sup proud. Swear I nearly passed out following a 10 ball drill that ended each round with plyometric pushups.

Highlight of the night- Hitting on ace on the instructor during a drill. First serve of the night, boom, down the "T". Sort of made up for all that torture.

JR, good to see that you're getting back on the court...are you getting back into any league tennis in 2013? if not, i'm playing enough for the both of us...

Sorry Downs, but you''re going to have to play my share of league tennis for a while.

Hoping to get back into league next spring, but we'll see.

Sup car update. New car smell, cop attracting color, 400+ horsepower, manual transmission, and 2 doors. The complete opposite of my intended jeep selection.

Trying to post a pic.

sounds like that might be the next meeting spot.
Can we sit there? Looks like it's around Metro Center.
My legs are killing me too now. That's what I get for not being on the tennis court in over 6 months. I am really getting old.

PaulMan · 10-22-2012, 10:07 AM

No you're not too old at all cb!

But yeah I'm game for that pizza place. Betcha it'll be packed crazy during normal lunch hrs, so more time will have to be planned for lunch meet...

PaulMan · 10-22-2012, 10:12 AM

You wanna see old? Come back here after I have to try to "slug it out" with Downs today! It won't be a pretty picture! Haha
