So, I’m back from Tucson, and missed the internet. The event was really awesome; most organized of all the events I’ve ever been to. I started off, first day, really hurting my arm in my first doubles match against Utah State. Don’t know what is wrong, it just hurt really bad. So, after that, I got to play a total of three full matches: I lost in singles to UofA (6-3), my first match after hurting my arm. First serve gone, kind of a wimpy serve for the whole match. My slices really hurt to hit and he caught on quick. I lost in singles against UTEP (6-2) on the second day, but I was in total pain the entire time. We started early morning, had no time to really down some pills and stretch it out. After some pain relievers kicked in the second match, against ASU, was more promising. Although I did not have a good serve, I still was playing well otherwise. But again, the slices weren’t working as well, and the guy liked to come in alot. Also, lobs weren’t my (or my shoulders) forte, so he got lots of overheads to smash when I was on the defense. The match with ASU was still a good one, the shots I could hit were working well. We got last place, 11th.
But, the trip was still worth it. I had good friends to go with, which made it way more fun. The hotel was a nice stay, got to relax in the hot tub, etc.
There will be pictures up soon on this page (watch Twitter)…
