Finally!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Ever since I moved to Tromsø 1 and a half month ago me and Erik (Dokosoko) have been playing Squash 4 times a week or so, and I've never managed to win.
I been frustrated, annoyed, trying so hard to beat him, watched tips on youtube, searched on the web for how to take backhand strokes better. But nothing seemed to work. But I've slowly build up my insanely bad endurance, and now it's sicker than it's ever been!
So we played today as well, and it was siiiick!
I felt I played pretty good, first set I was up in the lead most of the match, at one point 7-3 in my favour, but he made a comeback and I managed to lose 9-7
Second set I managed to beat him 9-7 which felt great!!
Third set I was starting to get really exhausted, but something weird now, instead of just getting really exhausted and downhill from there, a short break, some water and I'm good to go again full energy woaah!! Third set was really close, it went to 10-8 to him, you have to win with 2 goals, so nearly had it, and I made him run a lot more than usual, and I was playing good, still struggling on my backhand left side serve catch!!
On the fourth set I was just happy I did so well, but didn't expect to win it, because by now I'm starting to get so exhausted, and he's in great shape and never get exhausted, but for some reason I just didn't get tired, and I managed to win 9-7!!
Siiiick a tie 2-2!!
We took one more set, at the start I felt i played beautifully, I took the lead 8-0!! Then I got really nervous, he played sick well, perfect serves, and I started to miss and do stupid mistakes, he caught up to me 8-8 and I got really disappointed!
I just thought, ah so what, I never done this well, I'll just try my best and he took it 9-8!! Or so I thought, for got you had to win with 2 goals, and then we had some amazing points come, and we played for nearly 20 minuts more. Just kept winning the serves of eachother (U have to win the serve before you can win a point).
I managed to catch up and take the lead 10-9, he caught up and it was 11-10 for him, then I managed to catch up to 12-11 and at the end probably one of the best action we had, were we switched the ball 20 times or something, having to really throw ourself to catch it, run at the back, then run forth, he won that cool one ,but missed serve, i won it back, and took it 13-11 xD
But didn't gloat or like "IN UR FACE" Just felt grateful, never had this good endurance, and he's so competitive, he'll give me hell next time, and it just felt great to finally win once xD
Yayy!!
Oh, didn't notice I wrote so much, sorry lol, no1's gonna bother to read this lol!! But felt good writing it anyway <3 xD

That's awesome. I have one such friend, and he's making me trying even harder when going to the gym. (he's been going for quite some time now, and I'm in pretty crap shape - whenever I'm pulling a little closer in weights, he seems to push himself even harder, which makes me try harder too.) It's such a great thing. |
