Fight Gone Bad 1 Year Ago

Last year's Fight Gone Bad was a pretty tough time for me on many levels. I had not expected my mother to die then, I expected her to live long enough and be well enough to come to Austin in September to see me do this workout. My mother loved sports and was my biggest fan. It never happened. She died on September 6th. I remember that day because I had just finished working out at Austin High and was at Whole Foods eating breakfast when my sister called to tell me the devestating news. I don't remember the details of what I did to prepare for Fight Gone Bad, in fact, I dont really remember much of anything including doing the workout at the Long Center. It's all one big blur. I have a video that I will post after this entry that documents my performance, but I have no real memory of it. It's interesting how grief expresses itself. This will be my last Fight Gone Bad. I've never really cared much for it, but I also dont want to "leave it" with the memory of 2009 either. I want to replace it with whatever happens on Saturday and I truely mean "whatever happens". I'm just going to do it one more time and walk away with no regrets.

I will post the video next...
