I know I'm getting on a bit but is anyone else finding they feel exhausted they day after games?

I don't know if it's the nervous energy of how tight the games are or just the general highs and lows for scoring and conceding.
And the games have been coming so thick and fast, there's no down time as such.

How the players are coping with it, I have no idea. I'm just watching.

Nervous energy mate. The excitement gets the endorphins going and then the come down after is what you and all of us are experiencing.

It’s funny you should say that.
Yes, I do too.
Tuesday evening is my table tennis night.
Last night I played non stop for 90 minutes, so not unlike football.
I had already walked my usual 5 miles in the day.
Had curry and beer before the match started at 9, then kicked and headed every ball from my sofa.
It’s no surprise I was knackered.

I’ve got an MRI scan on Sunday, and last night didn’t help me feel any better about it.

That ping pong is a killer mate - make sure you don't overdo it!

My club has national level players.
Obviously, I don’t go anywhere near them, but one of them coaches mere mortals like me.
It’s a great game and a fantastic work out.
It is also a game where women and men really can compete together.
Just as an aside, I once got thrashed in a club competition by a 13 year old.

Good luck, that fucking tube is a pain.

You need to be careful with that wiff-waff. Probably best to avoid darts then. As Jocky Wilson said, "You've got to be fit to play (that) game". Crib might be an option but I found that hands of 12+ got my heart racing

Cheers mate.

Good luck. Hope the results turn out ok Don't know if it's changed but it was bloody noisy in that tube and a little claustrophobic but nothing to worry about.

The warm feeling you get in your veins when they inject the dye is a bit disconcerting, but nothing compared to being tattooed.

My missus reckons it’s to see if I have a heart or a lump of rock where there should be one. Cheek.

I have one of those table tennis tables that go on top of my pool table (near full size). I play against my 15 year old son.. we used to play a lot, but now he thrashes me so we don't so much..

All the very best mate.

 

[Edward Alistair]

I know I will be knackered by the time I get home on Saturday, a rare visit to the Den for me, leave at 7 and home at midnight.

Hope all goes well Saxon.

Good luck mate. Always used to think I'd freak out in the tube, but actually zoned out and thought of holidays, it is noisy, but goes surprisingly quickly. Hope it works out well for you.
