Rosalie parents tennis tournament with Rachel. Woke up with a really sore neck, probably more from lying on the floor watching TV using the foam roller as a pillow than how I slept. I couldn't serve at all when we started warming up but with a bit of massage and some more warming up I was able to serve respectably but painfully by the time we started.
Won our round robin matches fairly easily 5-1 and 7-1 I think. The first knockout match seemed to go on forever with time eventually being called with us leading 11-1. I'd had enough by that stage and it showed in the semi final where I made a lot more unforced errors against stronger opposition so we went down 2-5. Not at all disappointed about not getting to play another match. Afterwards noticed I was really sore just behind the armpit, probably from some sort of compensation for my sore neck. Feeling even more of a wreck than usual now.

Went out for a little jog in KP to rinse off after crawling around in the roof space trying to work out the cause of the water running down our bedroom wall. Didn't actually rain enough to rinse off very well. A bit sore after the first 8 or 9 minutes and felt a bit tired around 15 minute mark (on a downhill section). Stopped for a few minutes to clear some fallen branches off the path near Derby Rd on the way back.

Little jog around Rosalie Park to escort Liam home from his tennis lesson.
