The first picture might look like I won, I didn’t. We fought for close to 20 min with 8 over time resets and after being given a W on overtime number 2 the ref reversed the call. I fought 6 more over times with this opponent who got a well earned W. This was my proudest match I’ve had even with losing. Neither of us looked good when we were done. Ellie sure made me feel like a winner though. It may be a small feat as a Father, but trying to compete and watch a 3 year old in a crowded event was the even bigger challenge yesterday. Thanks to my friends and coaches that came to support, y’all have taught me so much beyond just BJJ.
