203.5 & In the desert

203.5 was my weight today after practice. 6.5 more to go by sat at 11. Right now I'm starting my journey through the desert, which is a reference a lot of wrestlers use to describe the final pounds to be cut. Its hard and takes a bit of sacrifice & discipline to stay away from extra water and food, but it is all worth it when the official raises your hand at the end of the match.

Also we put a whooping on Scranton last night. The mules won 8-10 bouts routing Scranton 42-9. Everyone wrestled amazing, and we got a lot of bonus points from weights were not use to getting them at. * Bonus pts are extra points you get by pin, technical fall- win by 15, or a win by 8.

Sat we have a tri-meet against Gettysburg & Johns Hopkins. This will be my first match of the year and I couldn't be anymore ready or excited. It is also our first chance to wrestle opponents in the conference, and continue on our teams goal of winning a conference championship.
