2 & 1, and a quick serve

“I’m not ready,” Graham said on my second serve, at 40-30, 5-2. I served another underhandedly, and he returned but was killed by my partner. Game and set.

We won the second set easily, 6-1.

I value fairness, so I told them. And I just don’t quick serve.

In the pool, I thought about it: underhand serve, perhaps, is easily read as quick serve because it doesn’t have the tossing, pulling back, and smacking down motions. (???)

A 5-minute warm up: I’ve been trying to imporve my forehand, without lefting my left leg.

OWS: 1 miler

A gorgeous day for open water swim at Pass a Grill Beach @ Hurley Park, by 8 am the air temperture is 72° and water 77°@ Pass-A-Grille Beach.

The swim is alone the shoreline. Some swimmers do time, while others do distance. I did 1 mile, in less than an hour.

Pass a Grill Beach is a 4-mile long beach.
