Day 3 Pacific Coast Open

So Evan is doing really good in this tournament he drew two games yesterday and won both his games today. He is at 3 out of 4 points.

Me....not so great. I lost four games today. This is the most games I have ever played in one day. The first two games I felt pretty good about even though I lost. I feel like I played my best and I was able to put up a fight with two higher rated players. But the last two games were a huge blow to me. I am embarassed by how awful I played. I should have won them. Part of it I am sure is due to low energy. My brain is so fried. Four games in one day is a lot for me. I don't know how these kids do all these schoastic events that are 5 rounds in one day. The first three games were really a short time control. And I am really not that used to using a clock. But really, I should have won my last two games. There is no excuse for my poor playing.

I am feeling really discouraged and not looking forward to two more games tomorrow. I might not care so much if I wasn't playing on a mixed doubles team, but I need to let it go and rememeber I am doing this to have fun. I don't want to have a give up attitude and I am hoping some sleep will help me have a fresh start tomorrow. Games aside, I had a great day socializing with friends I have not seen in a while.
