2-06-09 - Well the games were hot and heavy today. We had a great day of pickleballing even if the winds came up about 1 PM. I played some good matches with my men's doubles partner Martin. We ended up winning thee games and losing two which give us a bronze medal. One of the teams we played earlier in the tournament came back and beat us in a 15 point game, like 15-9 so not sure how they improved so much but they did. They went on and lost in the Gold / Silver match and got the silver. So bronze is OK I guess.
Then Ione played some great games today in singles and won her first game. Then lost to Pat Carrol in 2 OT games, 12-10 and the other 13-11. Then won the next two. Then after a long wait lost to a very good player and got bronze. She felt like she was playing in slow motion in that one. So a bronze was a good show for Ione. So tomorrow is another. We have our mixed doubles.
Ione is playing with a new partner Ralph and they have a large group so will see how that works out. She plays in the 65-69 bracket. Then I will be playing with my old friend Jessie Dawson who will be 79 this year. We call her the energizer bunny. She will be dropping down one bracket to play in my 70-74 bracket. So we will do our best and maybe there will be a medal for us at the end of the day.
