Small invitational tournament at El Dorado today. Played with Ci against Olga/Danielle, Nicky/Stephanie and Dana/Tania (twice).
All of our games were close, 24-26, 25-23, 25-27, 23-25, and although we only won one game, they were all competitive.
What was interesting is how I felt during the day. This is the first time I've played all day since I've been Keto and I'm not sure if that was the explanation for how I felt or not. I'll definitely have to do some experimenting to figure it out and dial it in so that my performance doesn't suffer. Maybe drinking ketones during a tournament will give me the extra boost without having to add in carbs.
This was probably the first time I've ever felt unfit while playing volleyball. And my quads felt fatigued and weak, which they never do. I've never felt like my legs have been tired even after a long day of playing. So, I don't know if it's because my muscles are so depleted of glycogen, or if I've just lost a lot of strength and endurance since the surgeries.
Other than that, I felt ok. Still moving slow, not very explosive and my vertical is terrible, but each day I feel a little bit better. Coming back slowly but surely!
