I considered ditching class b/c I was dragging a bit from yesterday and have a wall climbing adventure tonight. Also, the sun was out for the first time in quite awhile, and my dog was giving me the you-haven't-taken-me-outside-for-days eyes. I promised I'd take her in the afternoon and off I went.
I don't know if a bunch of guys made it their New Year's resolution to do BJJ, but it seemed to be the case today. We had four or five new guys, plus a couple of other newish people. I thought I was going to be the only higher belt (aside from James), but fortunately Clayton, Sol and Keith showed up.
We did the basic kimura from guard, then kimura to back-take, and then hip-bump sweep to triangle. I was working with Clayton for the most part, and both of us were struggling much more than we should have been with the kimura. I've never done James' set-up before, and we kept bonking heads and looking like idiots. I felt sorry for James, because there was another new guy who was just watching, and Clayton and I couldn't have been giving him a very good impression.
I rolled with Clayton and then left to take the dog on a long walk, in which she proceeded to get very, very muddy. That gives me about an hour of chilling before my next adventure. I felt bad not being more involved since there were so many new people, but I just didn't have it in me today.
Oh yeah, way to go Seahawks! Made it waaaaaaaaaay too close at the end, but the final score is all that matters.
