Yesterday I competed in the annual national table tennis event in Las Vegas (anybody following in real time will note that I am back-dating this post). I went 7 and 3, and medaled (made it to the semifinals) in the Under 1000 event. Here are the scores from each of my matches.
I'm still not really comfortable playing in a tournament setting, and remained tight throughout all matches (except perhaps the semifinals with Aashay Patel, which I lost but was a very competitive match). Playing tight, well, it just doesn't work. Hitting well requires that you use your arm like a whip, driven by your body. If your arm is stiff it's like a bludgeon, and let's face it, clubs aren't the weapons known for breaking the sound barrier.
Details of a couple key matches to follow, should I find the time…
