Training Log Archive: Jay-T

Doubles, then 3s, then singles.

Event: Regional Event
 

Hoping that I'd make the EPOC event; didn't quite do that. Been there enough times though so not a major problem. Local run instead; up and down the canal, Trans Pennine Trail, then back up (and down) through Wombwell Woods. Good pace to start with, but this dropped quite a bit when the paths became muddier. Lots of motorbike activity in the bit of woodland below the road, but they haven't encroached into the mapped area... yet.

Mini reunion...

James visited...

Tired, played pretty poorly.

Decent game of doubles after originally giving it a miss. Good warm up for...

Home Match vs Silcoates playing with Alan
Straightforward first game, winning 21-9, 21-8 vs their 3rd pair.
Tense second game, but a good performance saw us triumph 21-17, 21-16 vs their 1st pair. One of their pairing was a relatively strong player and we were pleased with how we dug in to win.
In the third game against their 2nd pair our level dropped off a little; Alan missed several shots at the net which he would usually kill, and that was enough for the opposition to sneak it 21-20, 21-20. Argh!
Brent / Tom and Mick / Sam cleared up, so overall an 8-1 victory and a good result against a (half) decent team.
Note: A team also won 8-1 against the B team in my absence last week.
