play a game of tennis

I used to play in college and in my 20s, but not since then. As a decent racquetball player, tennis came fairly easy. My backhand, however, was way better than my forehand.

It frustrated my tennis instructor that I could do some pretty challenging moves easily, but the easy stuff for most were a challenge. I also have a very mean slice.

Nackering but had a good laugh

And watching the US Open recently really inspired me.

The only thing is that in my area all the women’s comps seem to run during the day on weekdays! What about us women that work during the week?

I’ve played twice this week now!!

P and I cycled out to the courts today (30 mins out there, 20 mins back) and played for 1.5 hours. Man I am tired now, but it was great, such a beautiful day and such a great spot. Next time I’ll try and take photos.

I really hope I can keep this up once I’m back in Syd!!

This time singles with Shaz. Hours later and my right arm is still shaking. He is way, way too good for me!!!

A group of us went and played yesterday – we spread out over 3 courts. It was so much fun and something I definitely want to do again soon.

Our court came up with a new invention as well – BodyAttack tennis! Each time there was downtime – like when someone was chasing up balls – the rest of us had to do BodyAttack moves. Kept the heart rate up – I hate lunges!!

We may even head out there again this afternoon!!
