No Running to Report, but..... - Seafront Plodder - 19-08-2010
I'm full of the endorphin high that followed the County Over 45 double semi-finals, where my partner and I played like gods tonight to win 6-4, 6-3 against a pair of whippersnappers who have just turned 45. One of whom is the head coach at Horsham Tennis club.
So we're defending our County title then, Sunday 19 Sept, all welcome.
Overdosed on core fitness work tonight. If only I could be arsed to pull on the runners.

Congrats old man, a fine effort. But do put on the runners sometime soon, won't you? You know it's good cross training for tennis of course?

Great stuff SP, best of luck for the final. Don't worry about the runners, excelling at one sport is one more than most of us manage around here!

Great stuff lardy. Looking forward to whooping your butt at Seaford Head on Monday (as if). Thank God it's not tennis ...
19th you say? That's eminently doable ...

Best of luck to you in the finals SP. No running, but sounds like you're keeping in shape with the tennis. Way to go!

Sadly the wheels fell off in my attempt to retain the Sussex over 45 title.
My partner and I cruised through the first set 6-2, but unfortunately we didn't capitalise and went down in 3.
Ho hum. Still, suppose we finished second...

It was a stonking effort. The standard was way higher than I expected.
Please never hit a tennis ball at me. Thanks.

In that respect you have quite a lot in common with Andy Murray then?
Well done both of you!
RE: No Running to Report, but..... - marathondan - 20-09-2010
Yep, great effort SP, you remain RC's most successful athlete!

Way to go SP! Finishing 2nd in a strong field is something to be proud of.
