okay, I gotta get this off my chest right now.
First let me start off by saying I'm a kickboxer and this is my first year doing competitive wrestling. So I got some natural instincts that kinda hinder me.
I was wrestling in the 145 class yesterday, and my team was down by eleven points. I had to win by pin and we already had a forfeit coming up after me. for the first two thirds of the period I was winning 4-0, then he got an escape, i grapped on to his ankle, and he slipped out and ran away from me. I got up and was P-ed off and chased...more like sprinted after him ( in Kickboxing, if some one runs away from you, you chase after them and use the momentum to elbow, knee, or kick your way to victory). he turned around lowered his level so his head level was even with my waist, (again, my first reaction was to knee him in the face, but caught myself in time to stop the knee from coming) and he speared the crap out of me. And I guess by the title you know where he hit me. I flew back at least three or four feet.
I was ROCKED, That took A LOT of wind out of me. Even though I was stronger, faster, and almost ead even on than this guy, I just couldn't bring myself to take him down, or out grapple him on the ground. I brought myself to my back three times, and ended up bridging and rolling everytime.
the last time I had just tried an elvator, got caught on my back, still shaken from the nut shot, bridged, looked at the score board and saw that there was only 10 seconds left. I held on and rolled over once there was two seconds left on the clock. He won 11-4/5. That lost our teams chance of winning.
I feel like crap today, I feel like I let the team down because I could have won it for them.
I have truama to my elbow and knee from the spear, and got a bruised groin. At practice near the middle, I got elbowed in the groin again and sat out the rest of practice. It's just throbbing pain.
I hope I come out of this with something, besides a new appreciation for cups. I know alot of you have done permanent or long lasting damage like breaking or hyperextending limbs. I just want to know what I can gain out of this.
No chasing an escaped opponent.
Wear my cup everytime, cuz it could be the time ( first match of anykind not wearing a cup).
Never give up.
Use injury time next chance.
