7:16 – HSW was somewhat of a struggle today but I think it was mainly cause the gym was crowded and I had to be conscious of where everyone was. C2B were good but I can tell I need to build up more strict base again

7+2, 5+1, 4+2 – these were tough. I may have come out a little bit hotter than I wanted in the first one but I was feeling good and happy that I was able to get back to the bar quickly. Second one I was just kind of tired. Third one I struggled to get started on my DU sets. Once I got the first one I was good every time but that first one I tripped getting started for some reason each time.
