Extremely exciting exercise experience extended extra exhaustion.

Kindle the passions.

Today I had a mix doubles tournament held by Mie Badminton Assosiation. Last year, Elirin and I won a first prise at D class, and this year, we had sent an entry in C class. Since C class is extremely far from D class about players' skill, our goal was to get one win. When I received an order sheet, I found the names that I know well, in the same leag. The first game of first match with Mr. Tanaka was miserable. It finished within a few minutes. Second game was better, but we lost at 13 - 15. The second match with Mr. Thoru was worse. We lost first game very easily. Though second game was better than first one, we lost it too. The third match was much better, but we couldn't get a game. The fourth match was the best. We won first game with 17 - 15. In the second game, after the Elirin's sequent miss of short service, she became timid. And then, she didn't use short service or smash, but used long service and hiclear only. It made opponents focus on her, and she became exhaust. And we lost two games, and lost the match. Elirin is very good at skill, but sometimes very weak at mental power, although she has played badminton for about a decade. Othewise I could play at my own pace, but I made many miss. I need more skill.
