What happened in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

Lets just say it did not go well. There are somethings that I need to change before the WTT. I don't really know what happened in my first match but I ended up losing to someone that I never should have. It went to the clinch in the 1st period and he got the lock. I defended it by trying to throw him in a chest lock (like a crotch throw but around the chest) and with the new rules-if the person defending the clinch goes to his butt the other man scores. So instead of getting 3 points, he got the 3. The 2nd period ended with a push out that scored him a point and gave me my first loss in the tournament. I had 2 more matches that resulted in a pin and a injury forfeit before losing my second match of the tournament to put me in the 7th 8th place match. I ended up winning that match to qualify me for the WTT in June.

When looking at the big picture, this tournament is just preparation for June. Like I stated before, there are somethings that I need to work on if I plan on making the world team this year. I going to take the rest of the week off to recover. I got a little banged up to say the least. Then get back on the horse and keep moving forward. I plan on heading out to MN and down to Iowa St. to get some good training in before the trials. I'll let you know how things are going.
