What a great event. I met so many people, MNPers and local Denver players... Jean and her staff did an incredible job with this evnt!!! KUDOS!!! I can't wait to go next year!!! As far as playing, I had a rough travel day including a 6 hour wait in Chicago and got in 11:30pm on thursday night. I need got a chance to acclimnate to the conditions. My frist match was against Kristen, I was excited to play her. I lost the first game 11-4 as I was getting use to the conditions. The ball flew!!! the second game I had serve at 11-10 and then the nervs got the best of me and I lost 13 -11. I changed my style of play for some unknown reason, I played very tentatively not the aggresive style that I am used to playing, I lost 11 -5. I met my mixed doubles partner ten before before I had to play on friday night. We won our first two rounds. the second match of the night against bruce and cindy was alot of fun and it was close 14 and 14!!! Saturday was team format day, singles and doubles. I took third in open singles and me and barb together took first in open/A dobles. In open singles, I lost in the semi's to my friend Michelle Earl, she played great, I had just reffed the Rhonda,Kerri match immediately before I had to play, I was so tight and didn't get my ritual half hour pre matchwarmup... it happens, but I was warmed up to play Kara and beat her in two... Mixed doubles on Sunday was a blast, we beat the number two seed then beat the number one seed. I put on a show and made lots of fans :) Thanks to everyone that made this event a success! Thanks Hun for all your support. I know its hard when I go, but I know you're cheering me on from afar and you want me to reach for my dreams. Thanks to Shannon and Candi - you know why, Thanks to lorraine - great coaching, we're getting there!!! See you all in Toronto.. Oh yeah BTW - In case you weren't sure I AM A PROFESSIONAL RACQUETBALL PLAYER!!!
