funny how the body works...

Have you ever bowled above average when not feeling well?

I've bowled well when I wasn't physically feeling well. My focus is sharpened for some reason, something I've noticed over the years. I turn on and off (on the approach, off the approach) my bowling brain much better than when I'm sick. Maybe it's the "fight or flight" mode. It just amazes me how the body works. I shot 789 with sinus/bad allergies. I've taken sweepers, brackets, and pots having a cold or minor viral infection. (I don't bowl if I'm actively coughing or sneezing)

Then there are times when I'm down and out emotionally and I ended up with an honor score or highest series that night.....

I know another bowler who shot his highest series this season while having a bad cold... 765...
