Despite a busy start to the new year, I’ve been able to keep up (somewhat) with my Judo training. Today there was a local tournament, and I was fortunate enough to be able to compete.
Actually, I’ve been watching my weight the past week to ensure I’d measure in at 100kg. If you miss that mark, you end up in HEAVYWEIGHT. Well, I made my weight, but there was no one else to compete with, so they put me into the heavyweight category anyway (other guys were about 250 pounds!!!). Ooch.
Not to worry, my speed and superior technique prevailed. I won two matches to nab the gold :)
