Out there since 7:30am.<\/p>\n

Frist, time my 100 yard for a possible swim in September<\/a>, which is 2:09. Not too baad, it was 2:06 near 2 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has been a while<\/a> to time my swim, since the second Fitbit broke in less than a year<\/a>. but I generally do 1k yards under 25 minutes<\/a>: I alternate 100 free, 100 breaststroke\/frog: this way, it’s easy to count, remember.<\/p>\n

Then, I practiced on court. When the play finally began, it’s 9 already. The first set Tony and I won convincingly or Joel and Gordo. But the second set we lost to Dave L and Matt: I was tired, but able to hold my two service games.<\/p>\n

… to serve<\/a>: here is how<\/a>, says the coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And here is how a day starts<\/p>\n
