Hobbling toward the finish line...

This morning, Tennacity beat All that Racquet. Barely. Thus, qualifying the team to go to VA districts. And when I say barely, I mean *barely*. We split courts, and actually split sets. So it came down to a total game count, and we edged them out 45 to 43 (I think...something like that). I say 'we', but I didn't play today...I headed over after clinic as I was supposed to practice. Only one other person showed up to practice, and after hitting for an hour, we watched the match wrap up.

I'm happy we're going, of course, but I only played twice for this team, both times at doubles, and lost both times (albeit in close matches). We have one more match to go, and I'm scheduled for singles, but I feel like I haven't contributed to the team going at all. OH well, I should just shut up, go, and have a blast. Which really, is the plan anyway.

Just have to keep my ankle from falling apart before then. I have switched to taping as I feel it is more effective than my ASO brace (it gets the support right where I need it to be), but it causes me to go through tape unbelievable fast.

I also have a conflict on one day of districts with our final DC match. Depending on how NOVA indoor playoffs shake down, we might be short, and though my original plan was to drive back to play the DC match, now that I've seen when we would play (10am and 6:30pm on Friday), that is no longer looking like an appealing idea.
