I just spent this weekend down at the district wrestling tournament. Guess what? Its in AKRON. Guess what? My mother sent me BAD directions....and added a zero to "5 miles", making it '50 miles'. Guess what? Bah, you know what.
Basically its a tournament of the entire school district (some 15 schools) to see whos going to the State tournament. So theres about 400 matches, and your guy prolly wrestles every two hours. Its been a long, LONG weekend. Ken did good, but the last day he needed to go 3 in a row to make states, and only won 2. But he still took fifth, which makes him the 'alternate' in case someone is injured during states. That places him somewhere in the top 20 of the state for his weight. You can tell who lost in the hallways by the tears. Its emotional for everyone- some dreams are made, others are crushed. But thats how it goes.
Aside from that, I'm working at home during the evenings as well. I am also looking to getting back into training full time, and hoping to take up some fights this year. Plus, I have a full time woman now. (heh heh)
I'm still popping in when I've got a slow moment, but I probobly wont be here as much as I have been.
