Played two matches this weekend. The morning was some mixed doubles for funs. I like funs.
You can see that I was suffering a bit from my Big Saturday Adventures and I never really got going, heart rate-wise. And when the matches are just for funs, even if the tennis is good, the effort can be a little low. I also played like crap, which I’m also chalking up to BSA (Big Saturday Adventures).
The afternoon match, however, was some 5.5 USTA Mixed Combo action. I have to chuckle at how much more keyed up I get for “official” matches.
The heart rate levels were more appropriate for the match, and I played pretty well. The game was low-stakes, but I was glad to be able to raise my game (eventually). We started the first set down 1-5, but rallied to win it 7-5. And then we won the 2nd set 6-0. I don’t know that I’ve ever been in a match where we won 12 straight games. It was sick.
