After being absent from the sport for over a month, I finally returned to the court to play badminton last Sunday. The people JP and I used to play with on Sunday have reconvened so I have a place to play again. As expected after a long absence, I wasn't in the greatest shape, but it turns out that nobody was on form during that session, so I wasn't really at a disadvantage. Most of the games we played were sloppy with a lot of careless shots and unforced errors. They were not very competitive for the most part with one side (usually mine) having a clear advantage. There were also some air currents in the badminton center and that made things even worse. I lost my first game, but won every subsequent game during the session, so this qualifies as a "triumphant return" in my books since I could have done a lot worse. As expected, I'm feeling a bit sore today after yesterday's session, but it's not too bad since the games weren't tough.
Supposedly there will also be badminton next Sunday, so I'll post after that session as well. Hopefully the group will return to a regular schedule I have somewhere to play every week.
