Finally got out of the house after the Snowmageddon hit the Seattle area the past two weeks. Lots of slush left which made things dicey but it was really good to get to shoot. We had the Northwest Section 2018 awards ceremony right after this match and I came home with 3rd place overall Open division and $50 🙂
Through some visualization, concentration and luck, I managed to edge out a Match win at the Northwest Championships at Renton Fish and Game club. This was a points match that counted as two matches.
Had two stages where I lost concentration and the resulting penalties hurt. Need to keep working on the mental aspect of this game.
Thanks again to the DownZero crew for setting up this match. Had a great time squadding with ElPrez (Mike Foley) and the NROI Director (Troy McManus).
