After a long week of work, the guys and I decided it was time to head back to the courts to get some run in. The seven or so games that we played were quite possibly the most competitive so far. Guys were getting knocked to the ground and jewelery was broken (Thanks to Chad, he did however apologize). We even managed to get some of our local volunteer counterparts to come out and play as well.
We ended the day going 6 and 2, with our losses occurring right as we got on and the last game we played. It's apparent that we don't nearly have the same stamina for Beijing heat as the locals do, as we were thirsting for water after every single game we played. Even as we lost the last game and were in the motions to leave, we were asked to stay and continue to play. The local guys at the court really enjoy the tougher competition that we bring, and it's extremely refreshing to have some competitive fun.
A final note: "Way to use your head there Chad." said Leroy Bridges.
