Weekend Summary
Hot, hot, hotter! That was the temperature, not my playing in the first tennis match on Saturday. The “first match jitters” killed me, but I warmed up quickly after that. My partner and I finished out 1 and 2 (1 win, 2 losses) for the entire weekend of the 2007 Lubbock Combo League.
The first match was a challenge mainly because I was serving very poorly. I felt we should have been much more competitive against this particular team. However, they did end up undefeated over the entire weekend.
The second match was a battle. After loosing the first set quickly, we battled back and I served to win the second set. The match went to a 10 point tie-break, which I again served to win!
The final match was another battle. Jerry and I were able to break the other team twice, but then they broke both of us, and then me again to win the first set easily. We were down 2-5 in the second set and then battled back to tie it 6-6. The tie-break happened quickly and we went down 4-7.
I ended the weekend with a list of things to work on—the first thing on the list is my serve. Also, I’m still working on the Couch-to-5K running plan. The next step requires me to run 20 minutes or 2 miles without stopping!
