YUMA SENIOR GAMES MEDALLISTS

We played in the Senior Games last weekend and on Tuesday this week and had a great time.  Our pickleball events started with the men’s doubles on Saturday and the games went from 10 a.m. to 2:30 in the afternoon, so it was a long day.  Stuart and his partner from Penticton competed in the 55-59 age division and won silver medals.

Stuart and I played in the mixed doubles on Sunday in the same age division and the competition was very stiff.  We played our first game against the people who eventually competed for the gold medal so it was a tough start.  We were a little nervous at first but settled down and had fun with the rest of the games.

On Tuesday, I played in the women’s doubles and again, we had some stiff competition.  My partner and I played well, though, and won bronze medals.  We were sure pumped up for the event and it’s amazing how tired you get with that kind of concentration.

We’ve been relaxing the past few days and enjoying warm, sunny weather with daytime highs in the low 80’s F.  That’s above the average temperatures but these days, average doesn’t seem to mean much.  Sure beats the winter weather back home though.
