C-man had his first wrestling tournament today. He lost one (he got pinned with only 10 seconds left in the match, but was still smiling because he scored the first takedown points), won one by 4-0 decision, and lost the final one by 9-5 decision. He was up for a while in the last match, but then lost it. Oh well.
In his second match, he popped a kid in the nose with his elbow, causing a blood timeout. Seriously, a blood timeout.
What became quickly apparent is that he's really strong and really aggressive. What also became clear is in only a month of practice, he doesn't have a lot in terms of technique yet.
But he walked away with a medal, an aching neck, and declared it to be a 9 out of 10 experience. I guess this now makes us a wrestling family.
