What great results for NYC. Super proud of everyone. Hopefully this solidifies Seans status as "SlaughterHouse". The scary part is I know Sean can still play a lot better than he played this weekend.
I felt a little more prepared this time for MD, moreso than the last few Marylands. I know I could have been better prepared.
Apologizes to my partners Rob, Chris and Dawa. I had to leave while still in all my events. Experts Doubles we were in the losers side but I was feeling confident about our chances and Rob was still fighting hard. Pro Doubles we were still in the winners side and leaving was tough, especially after getting revenge on Biggie. In handicapped Dawa and I were in the losers but I was feeling good, and Dawa is just zen.
Thanks to Joseph Fish for playing with me in Open Doubles. We finished in the money (9/12th) which is something I haven't done in years. We beat all the teams we were supposed to (sometimes barely) and barely lost to the teams we were supposed to lose to. Joseph was always upbeat and played whatever position I threw him in. He made some clutch shots and was defensively really strong. Our match against Todd/Kristen went 5th game 5-3. But Joseph had Todd shooting his pull like I've never seen before. That's the fastest I've ever seen a pull shot hit. It was incredible. Then we lost Foud/Bill Haydon, I was missing from that match. I don't think I completed a single pass and it still went 4/5, 4/5, 4/5. I know we could have done better.
Open Mixed with Jen. That was terrible. I literally had 40 shots to win our match against the Shadmans. So sad. Good blocking Kitty. She does that sometimes. I guess it was her turn. :)
My stick lane was on most of the weekend and my long was consistent once I was warmed up. I learned some new tricks with Ilya's help, which will definitely help me in the long run. I've been working on my 5bar defense and it definitely showed. It made a huge difference in big matches.
Thanks to Chun, Kristin and the crew for throwing the tournament. I thought whatever number they had was perfect. No long waits. Seemed like I was consistently and constantly playing. I had issues with some of the tables, but surprisingly I didn't let it get to me.
Still recovering.
Thanks for taking pics Teddy
