Yesterday JP and I went to play badminton like usual, but unlike the past few weeks JP’s buddies had booked three hours worth of court-time rather than the usual two. A total of six people showed up, but only five of us ended up playing. The extra-long session and low number of players meant that I had to play a lot of games, and I’m not really used to playing for so long. Considering these facts though, I didn’t too badly yesterday, losing only the last game when I was completely out of gas. At the beginning of the session I was charging out of the gate and dominating from the front court. My strength waned as I played game after game, but my side managed to pull off the victories which really has more to do with the careless play of our opponents than anything too excellent on my part. I did play fairly consistently though until the last game, so that must have helped too.
After the grueling three hour session, both of my knees hurt and I was dead tired. My knees still hurt as I’m writing this, but hopefully I’ll be okay in a few days.
