So tournament kind of went well but kind of didnt. I placed 4th in ever division which gets me to States but it means I didnt win anything. I fought really well, and really hard and never ever gave in. Everyone who watched and everyone who fought me said I was amazing. But amazing doesnt win you tournaments it seems. Ah well with some extra training (I may have to welcome back the icebath) and some extra sparring practice I might make it to nationals. I can only hope.
