Katie goes back to training!

For the next few weeks Katie trained even harder then she had before. She needed to keep her weight down, and was determined to win. Her coach was right, she'd been cheated last time! A humiliating, wicked trick. That just meant she had to work all the harder to beat her rival now! Dirty tricks were no match for true skill and strength, her coach encouraged her.

Besides all that, Katie was too embarrassed to talk to anyone. Most of the people she knew had been at that fight, and she found herself blushing and stammering in their presence. She knew they'd seen her, topless and ****, sprawled out on the mat. She imagined they were all visualizing it, and it made HER visualize it, and grow too embarrassed to speak.

Social media was even worse. Inevitably someone on her page would post one of those humiliating pictures, or gifs, or videos of that terrible event. Her exposure. She reported it a few times, then gave up and suspended her account. She just couldn't bear to go back there!

So Katie threw herself madly into her training. She ran five miles five days a week. She spent hours training with her coach on the mits, between rounds of cross fit and jump-rope. She'd hit the bag until her hands and feet were so sore she'd have to soak them.

She was utterly determined to win. Meanwhile, her opponent Sydney did none of this. She was determined to win, but had a different route to success...
