While I was in Texas, there were some interesting opportunities that presented themselves. Bull riding was one, but they were closed. Obviously the photo op at TMS, and some other things, including a ring event on Thursday.
At the ring event, 2 contestants are randomly chosen. Basically, you're told to fight fair, with no throwing or holding. Only hits to the torso count. A match is 3 rounds of 10 minutes each. Most hits wins a round. First to win 2 rounds wins the match. I did one match, all 3 rounds.
If I'd have planned on doing this, I'd have eaten the German chocolate cake afterward. Generally, I fight better on an empty stomach. Yesterday, I was sore. Today, I have bruises in unexpected places, like the inside of my right arm. We had head protection and used gloves, but I was in jeans, so not very flexible. My left eye hurts, but I think that's a cyst. My chest feels OK, as of today.
