6 August Wesley, Sherilee & I were off to Bryan’s place after a birthday dinner which the Knox family held for me.
3:00am Friday 7 August 2009 Sherilee woke me up early & gave me coffee & a stunning bday card. 3:30am Bryan & us got into the car & we were off to Port Elizabeth.
After a 12 hour drive we arrived & weighed in Wesley & Sherilee. The venue itself was good & the tournament was running great. After visiting the venue Bryan sorted out where he was staying & Wesley, Shez & I popped in by Michael Kliment for a quick visit.
We then made our way home, where my folks were having a braai (BBQ). This was great seeing them again.
Saturday morning we were off to the champs. Sherilee went there to do two things, number one prove she is the number one ranked fighter in her division this year & also to give some one a beating by a huge margin. She achieved both!
Wesley drew the former Mozambique under 80kg (now a weight category lower) in the first round. He fought well, but narrowly lost.
That night PE saw the whole of KSA at their night life. Obviously my family & friends joined! But all in all it was great to have every one there!
Sunday my family got together for brunch. Which was ended abruptly by myself as we needed to hit the road! At least I got to see my Ouma.
Sherilee & I arrived back at our place at 1:10am on Monday morning, with me really not feeling well.
I eventually got to the doctor on Tuesday & she suspected SWINE FLU. So I was not allowed to see people until my results came out. Tuesday afternoon 16:15 I was told my blood tests only showed gastro flu… did not feel like one, but anyways.
I am building my immune system up now so that I can go train with Sensei Mike Dukas on Saturday.
