  • Body: Felt out of it today.  Not sure what it was, maybe still dragging from the WOD Saturday and running yesterday...  Glutes, hams, quads sore, right lower back is sore.  Right lower leg achy, frustrating.
  • Workout: WC went well enough.  I only had the 1st rd of BS unbroken, but if I had felt 100% today I think I could have performed better in the later rounds.  The double-unders were a huge struggle today, couldn't find rhythm.  MU work was fun.  DL felt OK, but were not strong.
