Getting Ready For My First Marathon

A Jiu-Jitsu marathon, that is.

PGF Weigh-Ins — Las Vegas, NV

I just arrived in Las Vegas — back for the first time since ADCC in August.

This time, I’ll be competing the PGF World Season 7 at 205 pounds. The tournament is a 5 day extravaganza with 3 matches per day for the first 4 days and then an 8 man playoff bracket on Friday.

If I can stay healthy through the week, I will have at least 12 matches this week. Ideally, I’ll have 15.

This is PGF “Season” 7, and I’ll have an entire season’s worth of matches this week.

Oh, and to make matters tougher, each match will be against an extremely high-level grappler with tons of competition experience.

It’s going to be a doozy.

Here’s how I’m feeling (and how I prepared) for my first-ever Jiu-Jitsu marathon.
