Worlds 2007: Randomness
Megan and the king of Youtube, Kurt Osiander.
Steve, Gary and Pat M.
Can you spot Gary? He waited almost an hour and a half to fight in open division this morning and they never called his name. He's in for tomorrow, though.

Worlds 2007: Pat-- "Jiu Jitsu Math: Three Armbars + One Choke = A Bronze Medal"
Pat started his morning off in style, armbarring his first opponent, Kelly Tyler, within three minutes.
Match 2 was against James Baccari and was another armbar in under one minute.
Match 3 was a competitor whose name Megan can't remember (Pat was working too fast for her to keep up), and he was choked with some heel, neck invention Pat made up as he went. He tapped in less than two minutes.
Match 4 was against a fellow marine named Aaron Powell from the DC area, for the winner of Bracket One. Pat tapped him with another arm bar in under three minutes.
His semifinal match lasted four minutes, with the guy (another competitor Megan can't remember, but will post when she can find it) tapping Pat with a stacked arm bar. The guy got second, Pat won a bronze.
Congrats on being third in the world in blue belts, Pat!
Some photos:
Pat and Ted in between matches, waiting in the herding area. Today, they were nice enough to call it a bullpen.
Stand up. Pat's so fast, he's a blur on Megan's camera. That's fellow Devildog Aaron Powell on the right.
Anybody recognize this position from training? Bet you do... That guy hated life shortly after.
The winner. We knew it all along.

Worlds 2007: Megan-"Go Ugly Early"
Megan had the incredible luck to pull this year's Pan Am champ, Julia O'Riordan, in the first round. Julia scored two early, Megan got a guard pass, followed by another pass by Julia. The majority of the match was Julia in Megan's guard, and at the end of the six minutes, Megan lost by two. Sweet. :)
Pat A. fights tomorrow at 9 a.m. Gary and Steve have chosen to forgo their open category tomorrow to avoid injury. Their weight divisions fight early Saturday.
Pictures:
Megan in the herding area. Moooooo.
Standing. She jumped guard quickly. (A surprise. She was known for her Judo at the Pan Ams)
In Julia's guard...trying to remember posture. :)
