Returning to competition

One of my goals this year is to go to a tournament as a competitor.

I haven't been inside the ring other than as an official in 20 years.
I just got a flyer today that the next tournament in my area is on 9/16.

Suddenly nervous.

    You can do it!, use your experience and training and let the cards fall where they may.

    Thanks Casey -

    I'm about 3 weeks away now.

    I'm registered and purchased some much needed upgrades to my equipment, so I don't get DQ'd for missing anything... Been over the ruleset with someone who's been in this tournament before - not far off from others I've been in, I should be GTG there.

    I've been nursing a strained hip flexor for the last week, but yesterday's training felt really good after warm up, so going to start ramping up again this week. Hoping to do about 10 hours training this week.

    Train hard - compete easy.

    My instructor is notorious for saying "how you practice is how you perform"
