First tournament in over five years today. It went OK!

I was at the Vermont Open today and was stoked to finally get more mat time. I won my first gi match and lost first place to my teammate, so that's fine by me.

Next in open weight I got tapped quick by a blue belt who tapped out a brown belt earlier. Guess I gotta work on guard passing and keeping my arms tight. I went to pass, he triangled me, I defended but left my arm hanging out and he kimuraed me.

Last up in no gi I lost my first fight to a brown belt (again, arm bar while passing), won my second on points, then lost to the same teammate who ended up taking first. I was given fourth, but my record in the division was the same as the guy who took third so I'm ok with it.

All in all, I had dickloads of fun. Next time out I need to be a lot more aggressive and game plan better, but I'm just happy to be an active member of the community again. I just wanna say thanks to you guys for being such a positive influence on my training every day. Oss!
