On Sunday, October 27, 2019, two and a half weeks after a broken ankle, I decided to play mixed doubles with Missina in a tournament…….with a boot on my right foot!
If you have read my blog, you have realized that I am very competitive. Now you will know that I may not be very smart. But then again….I do love pickleball!
The fall tournament was a double elimination tournament with round robin “seeding” in the morning. It was a great time! We got to meet some great people and future friends. Such is pickleball and one of the reasons I love it so much!
We played well. As well as we could. Missina was still injured as well…..so the kitchen line, at times, seemed a long, long way away for both of us. Regardless, we enjoyed it and finished well (5th or 6th I am told) out of seventeen teams.
The Millennium Family Fitness, as I have written before, is a wonderful place. If you live locally it would be a wonderful site to call home. The facility and staff are awesome! Joplin is very fortunate to have the Millennium.
