Burpees in the Park

3/17
Afternoon:
5 rounds
Stairs up to the flags (two at a time)
10 burpees at the top
~15 minutes

Evening:
BJJ
Small class.  Just the women (plus Gary).  Focused on guard for the entire class.  Mostly breaking down posture, controlling after you break posture, a couple of sweeps and working on the armbar. Also did a bit of armbar defense.  The defense in particular is something that should be drilled to the point that it is an immediate reaction.  If you have to think about how to defend the armbar in the midst of someone slapping it on, you are way too late.  Did a couple of 2min positional drills and then a quick session of free grappling.  We started standing for the free rolling, which was great.  Hope we do more of that.  Even if we don't drill a bunch of takedowns, it will help tremendously to get used to starting from a standing position for the next tournament.

No fris and no run yesterday...felt like I should give my legs a bit of a break.  I think it worked out well, as I had plenty of energy for class.  The stairs (and the burpees) worked my legs to an extent, but not to the fatigue of a run/fris.  Did some pullups after the stairs/burpees.  Had a hard time finding a tree branch that was the right width.  Only did a couple sets of 3 shoulder pullups.
