Racquetball

You know what I love to play? Racquetball. It is a great sport because it doesn't require that you find other in shape people to play with. In racquetball you really only have to have one of three strengths: strength, placement, or fitness. What I lack in the first two I make up for in the third. However, I have the most difficult time playing against people who do have the first two strengths (especially placement for obvious reasons). I basically got destroyed today on serves alone. If I could come up with a solid return, i would generally be able to scramble to get the ball on other hits, but I think of the 21 points scored against me in the first game (match?) 15 were because I got smoked on serves.

I believe additional problems arose from the way I usually play racquetball. I generally try to place the ball in the area that requires the most amount of running for Bryan, and don't try to beat him fast enough that he doesn't bother to make the run (though admittedly I don't think I am quite good enough to do that consistently anyways). But despite an embarrassing score today, I had a very good time and look forward to playing often in Memphis next year.
