3 9 40 4 1 Remember when I told you that I ve been wanting to enter women s competitions lately Well I mentioned it for the first time last week and an acquaintance of mine asked me There s a mama-san volleyball practice would you like to come and she invited me to come I went for the first time today I heard it was a 3 hour practice in the morning but mama-san volleyball has a low net 9 players and the ball is one size smaller Wouldn t it be fun if the level is too different from mine who is still active but my expectations were betrayed in a good way Because the mama s team s tournament was coming up the girl who invited me and I were assigned to be the mama s team s opponents and spike them all the time I think I hit 40 attacks in a row x 4 positions as the rally went on When I m not the one hitting I m the one tossing the ball and I m busy It takes a lot of concentration to handle the ball which is smaller and lighter than usual I think it was the first time since I was a student that I practiced like a one-man team It didn t feel like much at the time It took me about an hour on the bike to get home and by the time I got home my body was so stiff and my muscles so ridiculously fatigued that I was moving like a robot The muscle soreness from the gym every day is also coming on strong so I have to speak up at the beginning of the movement I haven t had this feeling in a long time good good
