Skipped the cardio to head to the medical center for (routine) blood work. Got there ahead of the crowd, but the doctor hadn't ordered any tests (though he ordered me to go for them!). Quick walk to his office and they ordered the tests, but by then I was behind a huge line. His goof cost me forty minutes.
(In fairness, I note that I am generally very happy with my physician; today, a bit less so.)
Game 1: Led 2-0, but trailed 7-14. Scored 9 in a row and held on win 21-17.
Game 2: Led 9-8, but then pulled away to win 21-14.
Game 3: Steve was wiped and declared before the game that his goal was to get to 10. (No pressure on me there.) We were both struggling as we stayed tied at 3 forever. Then I led 9-3. He tied it up and served tied at 9 three times, but I held. He couldn't get two in a row again, and I finally won 21-9.
1+ loops of the river trail. (First had to drive the bikes to BJ's to get air in the tires.)

Cutthroat (discounted) with Steve K. and Syed
Game 1: After I led 1-0-0, Steve took over and kept building four-point leads. I kept tying him and he kept opening up another. I finally passed him at 19-16-9, but he took the last five points to win 19-21-9.
Game 2: I slowly steadily pulled away in a very long game, 21-12-10.
At that point, Steve and Syed were done for the night.
