Weekend was great, despite our performance at the tournament. We has a lot of injuries (one guy even had to be hospitalized, dislocated his elbow) because we had a lot of people wrestling up several weight classes so we could fill them all. We unfortunately have a lot of people clustered around the same weights. It's very unfortunate. We still placed 4th (out of 6) which wasn't really too bad considering most of us haven't wrestled an actual match in at least a year and often more.

I was supposed to wrestle 141, so I spent the entire previous week dieting and doing lots of cardio to get my weight down. Then about halfway to Dayton coach tells me that I'll be wrestling 149. I was quite distraught about this, as one might guess. So I was wrestling guys who were at the very least 8 pounds heavier than me. And all of that was muscle... >.<
Still, I won my first match pretty easily, but my second match wasn't good. He was all upperbody. Several times he did a double leg and accidentally threw me up in the air cause he was so strong and I was so light XP. Third match went in similar fashion. Fourth match just made me angry. I wrestled stupid. He only won by one point, and I literally gave him over half his points. I almost bit my finger off I was so mad (it's what I do when I get really pissed off, and I should probably stop cause my finger's still sore... >.< ). But I shall do better next time, and at least I'm getting my instincts back.

After the tournament was great though! We wandered around Dayton eating at various resteraunts since VMI had the tab for all of Saturday. It was great. Then that night they went out partying and came back with a lot of half remembered funny stories XP (I'm not much of a partier, so I stayed at the hotel like the little anti-social outcast I am XD)

Also, Ellen was there! And my aunt and uncle came over too, even if they only showed up for my last match XP (funny story, my aunt is really really attractive. So when she walked in and I started talking to her, my teamates yelled at me for getting all the hot girls, cause I had both Ellen and my aunt XP. Once they realized she was my aunt they calmed down a little, though they did begin devising plans to kill my uncle... XD). Ellen didn't get to stay too long, but it was still great to be with her considering this is the first time we've actually seen each other face to face. And of course she's already talking to one of the guys on facebook and commenting on how hot he is XD. Go girl go!

All in all it was a great weekend. I'll get pictures up eventually, no worries (sorry, didn't get any of my aunt XP I'm sure you'll live though).
