What I Learned While I Attended My Sparring Session

I tried sparring today and I learned some things
1) I was told that no one is any good their first couple times sparring, I found that I am no exception.
2)  Even when I think that my hands are up, I still get punched in the face.
3) That I have a hard time punching someone who didn't make me angry, even when he let his guard down (to let me hit him) I found that I pulled my punches (to be fair he wasn't wearing head gear).
4) The ability stand my my ground against fast moving objects, a posotive trait while playing ice hockey as a goalie, is not such a good trait while boxing.
On a positive note I have nice full lips without the aid of botox.
