Squash is a mortal game

Yesterday we had the last squash game with M. before she moves back to France. We were 6 and had a lot of fun. I started the first game agains T. I had a stressfull day and wacking that tinny black ball against the wall helped me to get it out of my body. And this was just the day that T played very wel, consequence I lost my first game. And not to say the least, I was already sweating and puffing. I still had to play for 1,5 hours.
In stead of having a steady slow game I had to play E, who jumps and runs down the court like speedy Conzales. I would like to take the same pills as he does to be as quick and vivid on a court. And yes M, as promised I made you run around the squash court. Hope your butt hurts!

After our game I still had to play for an another hour against B. He was superconcentrated and with a bit of luck I managed to win the game.

After a nice shower we had a couple of drinks to celebrate the last time we were going to see M on a squash court in Waterloo. Snif snif

And now my legs hurt!!!

Thank you G.!!!

The Oriflame gang gathered around for their weekly Tuesday squash. We were 9 to smack that ball against the wall. I started of against T. who as usual gave me a hard time. He won the first set and the other 2 were won by me. By that moment I was already sweating and I still had to play against the master.
I guess that E. will not play next week. Last week I tattooed his hand by hitting the ball on it. I swear that I didn't do it on purpose. Today G. hit him with the racket on the butt cheek with his racket. G. hadn’t seen him. The both of us came to the conclusion that E. is too quick on the squash court.
And then game itself. I guess that people watching the game had a good time, we didn't. Our game was full of long rally’s and the other colleagues were all watching the game. It is frustrating to play super shots and then seeing G. returning them.
Victory, victory, victory ………………. I won, I was so pleased but had no juice in my body to celebrate it.
We are now a couple hours later and my legs are killing me. What will it be tomorrow (or even worse on Thursday)??????????????

Tuesday squash event

Yesterday was the first time in 2 weeks that I entered a squash court. We were 5 and had to rotate. I started my first game against T. who hadn't played for a while, but you couldn't tell. He won the first set and was leading in the second set. I was lucky and managed to win the second one by 10-8. At the end of the second game I managed my shots better and could control the game better and won the 3rd set. The sweat was dripping on the floor and it was only when we finished the game that we realised that we had played for 30 minutes. Not that nice for the 5th person that had to wait for us.
Tonight I will be playing B. who had a lot of squash practise last week. I will post the result of the game tomorrow.
I will have to decide this weekend if I will continue playing squash in the box on Mondays. They have changed the member fees. L. will give me the cost per month tonight.

Regular Thursday Squash do

Since P was flying back from the US, I decided to have a game of squash with B. The court was already paid for and couldn't be cancelled. Both of us arrived early and did the warm-up at court 1. The floor was very slippery but we decided to continue.
At 19h30 started playing at court 2. You couldn't call it playing squash. The floor was slippery (again!). It feld like playing squash on a ice skating ring. We had a good laugh when the other one was loosing his balance and in stead of going for a nice shot, fell on the floor. In stead of playing for 1h30 we stopped after an hour.
I really felt sorry for the girl at the reception. Everybody complained that day on the state of the surface.

Squash

The squash season started again.

I'm out of shape! I have continued to play over the summer months, but it didn't help at all.

The variety that I used to play in my shots is gone. It looks like my harddisk was erased and needs to be filled again.

Played my new ex-collleagues yesterday and managed to improve my game. It felt great to tease them from time to time.

E. will help me in finding a new squash club in Stockholm as of next year. I'm going to a country where squash is an elite sport according to E. Look forward to play games against people that can boost my carreer. I promise I will loose (even if I'm soo much better!!!!)

On Thursday I'll be playing squash and badminton. I'll have to get better in both table tennis and tennis and I will be able to participate in racketlon competitions (and improve my condition!!)
