Watercize 50:00 [1]
Too sore from handball last night to contemplate anything but watercize today.

Swimming 19:00 [2]
First time in the pool in forever. Decided to work on a variety of swim/kicks/pulls and not go for time in any way for at least a month. I hope that in doing so I will be able to improve technique without worrying about the clock each day.

Handball 50:00 [3]
Cutthroat with Brian R. and Lucas. Brian and Danny set up the ladder that had both of them in the top five and me at number 12. (No complaints about Lucas at #2 and the guy from Bradford at #1.) I don't really care about the ladder, but was taking umbrage. Having knocked off Danny, Monday, I viewed this a "message" meeting. Alas, Brian was going to have "one of those nights" anyway.
First match: trailed 4-12-6, but came back to lose 13-15-8
Second match: pulled ahead early and hung on to win 15-14-4
Third match: Lucas and I duked it out and I got the victory 15-11-3
Fourth match: Score was 5-9-0 when I accidentally served up a softball that Brian whiffed on. He got really upset (at himself) and left for the night. Lucas and I decided to hang on to finish the match and I got hot and won 15-11.
Here's the scoop. Lucas played well all night - not his best, but not badly at all - and I took 3 out of 4. I was moving well and seeing the court, but there is no doubt that he has made me a better player - to his (temporary, I am sure) detriment. He still has more skills, shots, and quickness than me, but I have finesse and craftiness to even it up. If we are both on, he wins, but if he lets up, the door is open. I am psyched!

Racquetball 12:00 [1]
Discounted heavily as I was teaching Sarah to play on one of the courts at the Richter Center.
Volleyball 25:00 [3]
Bumping with Sarah in the Richter Center. For the first time in a long time, I was really working my feet well when we did this!

Handball 55:00 [3]
Singles with Danny Barr
First game trailed 4-13, but got hot and won 21-15.
Second game trailed 1-4, but was steady thereafter, never letting him get more than two points in a row and won 21-12.
Was pooped, but agreed to a third game and lost 12-21 after a "furious" comeback motivated by wanting to have the higher composite score for the night.

Running race 30:21 [3] 5.0 km (6:04 / km) +60m 5:44 / km
Polar Bear 5K. Cold and rainy
Ran poorly. First mile was okay, but tiring at 9:30, but then I ran 10:25 for the second as there was no one near me who seemed like a good pace. Third mile plus was also 10:25 as I passed more folks who just weren't moving so well. Completely confused as to how I slowed so much or why.
165 out of 211.
