Last Sunday!

When I woke up, I blurted out an impulsive ” Oh, my goodness!” cos my whole body was stiff!! so I went to the beach early enough to stretch my body. Especially when I was stretching my shoulder and thighs, it was so painful. However, we won our first 2 games, which was really thrilling! Actually, more than half of the teamswere defeated the day before so there were far fewer people than the day before.

The third game was against pros, which was very exciting! Surprisingly, I wasn’t nervous when I was playing against them. Conversely, my play was really good!!! However, we lost the game. It was a good game though, so we had to play a runners-up game. We won the first game quite easily. Actually, my parter and I were so worn out! But we wanted to play our best so we drew on all our energy! While we were playing, I couldn’t help noticing that my partner’s play wasn’t so great so I asked her if she was okay. She said she was okay but I very much doubted what she said, cos her face and stance were worn out so I took a time out and asked her what her condition was. She said that she felt sick and dizzy but she wanted to carry on playing as we were competing very well, but I suggested to her that we should retire as I was very worried about her. Then I told the referee that we would retire.

As soon as I said that, my partner cried out! She started busting her feeling and hyperventilating and her whole body was convulsed. She couldn’t recover from that condition for about 1 hour, which made me worried, but a doctor came and saw her. Apparently, she should have drunk more water and needed more stamina.

Anyway, she recovered and I felt relieved!

The result was that we were 6th or 7th out of 24 teams, which was really satisfactory for me.

  • Saipan looks nice and it sounds like you had a good weekend Mina-very active! I think I’d need an ambulance if I tried to play any sport now-I feel genki but I must be unfit: My exercise regime consists of walking between Kaijin, Funabashi and Kinshicho stations!
