Our team took 2 out of 3 last week for the first time in ... I don't know how long.  I also just posted to the Coach's Thinktank about how I managed to find a way to lower my balltrack, but the ball is not hitting as hard as before.

More importantly though, I managed to strain something in my right elbow.  I did bowl nine games last Wednesday, so that probably had something to do with it.  But I'm starting to think it had less to do with the new release as it does with the fact that I habitually stick my fingers into the ball and THEN pick it up with one arm.

Now I have two pained elbows.  (Hurt something in the left one doing overhead triceps extensions at the end of last year.)  I didn't even go practice bowling on Sunday after cancelling golf due to the rain.  Getting older sure isn't much fun.  =\

Well, we only took 1 out of 3 last night.  It was just a rough night in general for our team.  I average in the 170's and bowled a 237 in the first game to barely pull us through, but overall I barely beat my average on the night.  So you do the math.

Unfortunately my teammates were struggling too.  One's a young cranker who seems to have lost his touch and his average has gone from the 170's to the 150's (I think he averaged in the 120's last night) and the other is an older lady who bowls relatively straight and slow but just couldn't get the pins to fall last night.

On the bright side, the other team and I had a four-man beer frame game in the last game and I got one free beer out of it.  =]
