Long warm up. Started with rounds. Did 4 good ones, and on the 5th I accidentally injured someone. Had to sit out with him. He’s all good, but I cut my session short obviously.

Training Thoughts of the Week

Great training week as I said, but it did end on a bit of a bummer with an injury. Happens I suppose but still not nice to have to deal with. Thankfully he’ll be back on the mats soon and it’s not too serious.

Non-Training Thoughts of the Week

I am locked in. I have no thoughts outside of training for the next few weeks. Don’t expect any.

See you on the mat,
