Alex the Amazing part 2 with pictures (from Alex's perspective)

I had a great day yesterday.  I shouldn't have because my sugars were crazy, but I laughed throughout the day and worked hard.  Then came my favorite time of day; wrestling!  It was a bit different than most practice days.  We still had practice from 2:45 - 5:30 but then all our parents were invited to come watch us in an intramural scrimmage.  That's wrestling-ese meaning we got to do a match against our own teammates.  My mom came and took some pictures during practice warm up and then my sister took pictures of the match.  They did OK.  It's hard to see my muscles ripple via pictures, but they tried their best.

 

 

 

 

Here's a great butt shot my mom took (she can be soooo embarrassing) but I wanted to show this because check out my form! Everyone else around me is squatting, but I am able to keep my legs perfectly straight!
 

 

Here's another technique of mine; roll around like crazy while everyone else sits still stretching their legs.  It keeps my opponents guessing, even during warm ups!

 

 

 

My mom took this picture of me with a few of my teammates.  I don't know why that kid is sticking his tongue out at my mom, but I thought it was a good pic anyway.

 

 

When coach called us out of the stands I gave a wave to my adoring fans.

 

 

 Then I sat where coach told me to and waited....

 

 ...and waited...

 

 ...and waited.

 

This is a great picture because it shows the difference in the size of me and my opponent.  The poor kid never had a chance!

 

A little smack talk; "I'm gonna take you down!"

 

 And then we are on the mat!

 

 

 This is the ref.  He had to put some kind of ankle bracelet on me. Probably to give my opponent a better advantage.

 

 

 Then we bust knuckles at mid-mat...



...then let me at him.  I could do a complete commentary explaining my moves, my motivation, my thoughts while wrestling, but I think I will let the pictures do the talking!

 

I pinned him!!

The ref put my hand up in the air and the crowd went wild!  Actually, the crowd was cheering for me the whole time!  Screaming my name, yelling through their excitement at seeing such a great match.  I have to give my opponent credit.  He wasn't a sore loser.  I need to work on that for that one chance in a million that I am on the other end of a pin.  But, I must say again, the poor kid didn't have a chance!

 

I got a few congratulation bumps...

 



...then I make my move on the ladies!

Don't worry girls!  There's enough of me to share!

 



Then we ban together as a team and wrestle the mat.  It took all of us, but we finished it off!

 



 

A congratulatory kiss and hug from dad...

...and TJ. 

 

I'm the winner!!!  Yeah.  I know I am amazing!
