I probably should have mentioned this in yesterday’s post but just to give a more well rounded picture of my weekend: it’s been busy.  It was my 20 year high school reunion and I went out Friday night with some friends that were in town for it and was up until 2am.  I woke up Saturday morning at 7 in order to take care of the dog and ride from 10-4p.  Then I had a house warming party I had to go to.  I slept great last night, probably 10 hours.  But I do think the tiredness hit me today versus yesterday.  I drove to the pool this morning only to find it closed!  Super bummed because that swim would have been great recovery.  I had my ultrasound for whatever is causing my lower abdominal pain this afternoon so unfortunately I couldn’t swim later.  And now I am at work all night this tonight.  

The gym workout started with a bit of a surprise.  After pressing 95 twice, I put 100 on the bar and could barely move it.  Then the same with 95...then maybe 1/3rd of the way with 90, so I called it good and moved on.  I took that as a warning and didn’t do anything to crazy the rest of the session.  My low back was slightly twingy at times with the barbell rows so I had to really focus on bracing.  Terrible handstand walk session.  I just couldn’t go far without one piece of the puzzle falling apart.  Rather than getting upset I spent some time working on freestanding holds.  Amrap went well.  I had to do the ctb as singles and they were hard.   I did all the hspu’s unbroken.  Hoping for some sleep tonight!  Thanks!
