This weekend Lynn and I played in our first official tennis tournament. Last night we played our teammates in what can only be called "a blood and guts" game, clawing and praying for every point. Yes, that is a wrap on my leg. Pulled a quad muscle early in the first set last night, which we lost 1-6. Yikes. Hats off to my partner who really picked up the slack as every step felt like a knife in my thigh. I felt like I could only stand there and get what was within an arms reach. Kind of difficult to serve off of one leg. 2nd set we won 7-6 in a tiebreak. (7 of 8 of our last matches have required a tiebreak somewhere!). We took the third set. 2 1/2 hours later... Don't know how these pros can play 4 hour matches! I was really worried about my leg for the match today, which was at 10am. Iced it, heated it, wrapped it. The leg ended up feeling fine as long as I didn't have to really run to get a ball. We won in 2 sets. Yeah us! Which meant that we won the tournament. Again, yeah us! And our teammates came in 2nd. Yeah Team! Now we've all got the tournament bug and can't wait for our next one!
