Indoor versus sand volleyball

Played volleyball straight for 3 hours on an empty stomach today evening from 7 to 10; never felt better !

It started out with 16 people and ended up with 4. The last two games were two-on-two. Beethoven and I, versus Tatiana and Omar. Tatiana and Omar are playing in the league and they gel well. Beethoven plays excellently and I fancy volleyball myself. No wonder the last two games were the best I have played in a long time..

I was finally spiking and setting like I wanted. What a big difference playing indoors makes! When you jump, you know exactly how high you will go. No feet sinking in the sand. Add to that the large sized indoor courts, and even wayward spikes end up being good shots. I also got in quite a few good blocks against the ballistic Omar.

While the daily sand volleyball games have their own fun, I suddenly am drawn to indoor v-ball. If only I had more time! It seems I spent as much time at work as I spent in the gym nowadays. I still want to play badminton, swim and work out!
