The Spartan Race was pretty interesting and draining, to put it mildly. My friend needed to stop a fair amount, so we ended up doing very little running. We got through the majority of the obstacles. I failed on the rope climb, monkey bars, spear throw and rings at the end. My friend made the monkey bars but failed the upside down lateral ladder thing. Took us 4hrs and 5mins to complete 5 1/2 miles. Oof.
I'm getting back into the groove of jiu jitsu, training every day except Tuesday. Also training for Murph on Memorial Day. Feeling pretty good about both, and suspecting that hormones are largely responsible for my lapses of energy and focus. I guess that's good in that it's a cyclical thing instead of an all-the-time thing, but also frustrating b/c it's inevitably going to occur again.
Nader started 7am classes on Thursday morning that consist of takedowns for a solid half hour and then some jiu jitsu stuff. It's been a small class but a good one, and a great way to start the day. Don't know if people will be as motivated in the winter when it's dark and cold at 7am, but we'll see.
In class I've been working on DLR to X entries. Drilled it almost exclusively on Sunday and was just starting to get the hang of it. I'm going to work RDLR to X entries next week. I think my goal for Master's is to have a solid standing pass sequence, a DLR/X sequence and a decent takedown. I'll let the rest take care of itself.
