Wow. Just wow.
My team played at 9:30 this morning. By the time we finished, it was over 100 degrees outside. But the worst part about this? We have another match at 3:00 this afternoon. Holy hell.
I played singles this morning, and won pretty easily. My reward for a fast match (under an hour) is that I also get to play the match at 3:00. Somehow, I'm not feeling very rewarded.
But, on the plus side, we won our first match. It's a miserable feeling to go to sectionals and lose right off the bat - it sorts of negates a lot of hard work that went into the season. We play 5 matches for each team match, 2 singles and 3 doubles. The doubles team that won the match for us was on the court for nearly 3 hours.
And you listen to the weather folks and the news talk about the dangerous heat and the nasty conditions, and you wonder why the hell they play these damn tournaments in the summer. In-freaking-sane.
So. First, keep your fingers crossed none of us ends up at the ER. And second, keep your fingers crossed we win again this afternoon. It would be awfully nice to make a trip to Phoenix for nationals later this year - if we can just keep winning...
