A good start, kind of!!!

So my partner Terry D and I won our match in the 70+ league yesterday.  I should be happy and I kind of am BUT.  I think of all the matches I have played in the last 3 years our opponents yesterday were probably the weakest AND we lost the first set!  If Terry was not hitting it into the net I was hitting it long it seemed.  The first set was 3-6 and I could not believe it.  Finally we righted the ship and went on to win set two 6-1.  To me that seemed like a fair score as we were certainly the better team, I thought!  Well with sets at 1-1 you go to a 10 point match tie breaker.  We prevailed 10-3.  Before we started I thought to myself IF we lose this tie breaker maybe I should retire from tennis!  Not really as I have experienced tie breakers as not going to the more skilled team but rather going to the team that is on some kind of run.  Tennis tends to go in streaks.  I remember last year we lost the first set something like 4-6, went on to win the next set 6-1 BUT lost the tie breaker so one never knows.  As I said yesterday Terry D and I tend to NOT play well together so getting the win was a good thing and a nice way to start the season.  One of the team members who did not play yesterday was there watching.  He laughed as he told me he overheard one of the guys bemoaning the fact that they won the first set but lost the second!  I guess each of us have our own thoughts as to the level of skill we play tennis at.  
Today my team plays at 1:30 and it will be a very different kind of match.  My team is a 60+ so the players tend to be younger, faster and better.  I have put myself on court #1 with Ron who covers almost the entire court with ease so we will see what happens.  I am hoping that our match does not go long as Terry has a Dr. appt at 3:30 and she can not miss that.  Come on Ron, let's win in good time!
I have had limited success in losing weight.  I love bread and have not had any for a few days and I think that helps.  IF I can lose 10 pounds that would help me on the court and maybe make me a "fast slow" guy!
Enough--breakfast was 2 eggs, 4 small sausage links and my FP so I am ready to go for a bike ride.
