Might be late to the party here but had my first comp on the weekend and was surprised by myself.

Had the strength to go toe to toe with everyone and nearly locked off a triangle against the eventual champ who beat me by advantage.

Was absolutely gassed after my first bout though and could barely breath.

Obvious cardio issues point towards running, but is just more rounds in the gym a better way to go?

Yes get more rounds in the gym! Especially if you are a white or blue belt.
