Houston. We have a problem.
So I've been playing and training for this tournament. The weight room and the court were going pretty well. haven't been able to get myself to jog, but my conditioning has been holding up.
Last week, my uncle came from Hong Kong, and we had a great seafood dinner.
I got food poisoned.
It happened on Saturday. By Tuesday, it was really bad. I couldn't stay awake and keep anything down. screwed... I'm so screwed.
so today, I went to play. OMIGOD. One set of singles... at 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and I was dying. DYING. no conditioning. from decent singles play for two hours, to not able to play one set and 15 minutes.
played some doubles--i'm striking the ball okay, but my conditioning is very poor.
Played another singles... and my legs. I just can't keep my legs going.
Played another singles. and ironically, it was better.
Now i'm on antibiotics because i might have what is called traveller's D... which requires a three day cycle. damn.
so we'll see what happens this weekend.
why am I not just pulling out? I'm the #3 seed in singles. and #1 seed in doubles. and if I recover enough, by sunday. it might be a decent effort.
yeah. it's stupid. but men are like that...
