So my two matches didn't go my way --- I lost both by a combined three points. The first one was horrible -- in that the opponent and I didn't do much to each other at all. Neither one of us hit the ground at all. It looked like two guys getting ready for a match with someone else.
The second one was pretty good, considering the other guy was very close to blue belt status, and I don't have any stripes on my white belt -- he was a four stripe white belt. He had me down and in great position to whoop me after the first 90 seconds, and somehow I got a wonderful escape and back on my feet. Then toward the last minute or so he got me down and I couldn't escape his guard -- I definitely gained some good respect from him though, in keeping the match close.
I know I needed to be more aggressive in both matches, but it was a good experience being there with the team regardless. Anyway, I'll post some pictures later. I'll even share some more details about the diet that I was on for the last two weeks of training for this tournament too.
