Core Workout 30:00 [1]
Misc Sports 2:00:00 [4]
When in China, play badminton! This was intense and bloody hot. I was invited to play for 2 hours with 3 Chinese guys, all who play badminton each week. I play once per year.
It took me a game to warm up but I hit a decent enough groove. It was 30C+ in the arena and I sweat big time. So much so that they had to get a squeegee kid to come and mop up the court as we were all slipping around too much in the puddles I created. It seems as though the Chinese guys don't sweat so much. As for me, I could hardly grip my raquette and my clothes were as wet as they would be if they were dunked in the river (although one doesn't want to go into the river that runs through Dongguan). Nearing the end, they suggested that I take my shirt off so as not to sweat so much on the floor. Maybe they just wanted to make fun of my manjugs bouncing around the court...
By way of some miracle, I won more games than I lost! I've got to give Goose a run for his money some day.
