The OCB Eastern Regional’s was a smaller but very well run show. There were 50 competitors not including crossovers. The lighting, a singular most important part of a contest, was very good. I also felt the judging was extremely good.
At this point, I am at about 90% of where my conditioning should be. So I am visibly softer than my best package. In the 60+ class there were no other competitors, so I took both first and last place! In the 50+, I place 2nd of 4. The seasoned competitor who took first looked very good and earned first place. This drives my motivation to look better the next time out.
I also was awarded the 2009 Sullivan Award for Sportsmanship. This really is an honor. Below is the web site. I also had been previously awarded Grandmaster of the year for 2008.

I hope I do not seem too immodest mentioning these awards.
