Played three hard sets of Padel today. Friend and me against our wives. Before you mock us, you should know my wife was (briefly) a professional tennis player, played in the US Open.
We lost the first set 6-2, killed ourselves to rally back in the second 7-5, and then the third was tied 3-3, before someone else needed the court. (We played a quick tiebreak, which we lost, but it was bullshit because we were distracted by overstaying our time.)
Amazing I didn’t tear my Achilles, which felt like it was going to snap on a couple quick foot plants on the fake carpet surface.
Back is already stiff af, tomorrow will be a 100 YO man. Felt like I was going to vomit after we stopped too, reminded me of the first wrestling practice of the year in high school. Overexerted myself, running down everything like a madman.
Really miss playing sports. Running (my normal routine) is for masochists. Will make a point of playing more often. Nothing beats chasing a ball around — any sport really.
