Guess you gotta start somewhere right. I sometimes will throw some small buy in tourneys if i find that my game is slumping at all. If you can place well, or in your case take down, a tournament like that, it definately is a moral boost. And more and more lately, im coming to find that your state of mind, or disposition, before and while youre playing really does make a huge difference in your play. Your win will only help your game, so enjoy! And do it again!
