29-Sept Gym & Judo & Jits

So its serious cutting weight week....77kg today!

Lunch time in the gym was row for 10min and on the bike for 20min. I was stiff from the WOD yesterday and then I went and played soccer last night, so didnt want to go crazy just more losen up.

The it was off to Judo and Jits, more constant take downs, passing guard and then it was 8 x 5 min rounds, so was shattered after that.

Food was good, no carbs and drining about 2 gallons of water a day.

15-Sept On your bike.....

I bought a bike about a year ago and used it 4-5 times and then it got stolen....

So I bought a new one on Sunday, the plan is to cycle to Soccer training on Mondays and Thursdays.

Yesterday was day one, I cycled the 3k to Grazz training (my senior team), then 5k to UCD for my College Women's team then the the 2k home! So 10k in all, wasn't too hard and was just as quick as driving to be honest.

So next trip is Thursday morning, from home to UCD and back again.... 7:45 - 8:45!

Good training this week, Tuesdays got some decent throws in Judo for the first time ever, then a hard Jits class. We worked on chokes on a turtle guard, first was stretch collar, sprawl and choke. Next was gap and take leg and roll into the hole and BOW and ARROW choke, then final was leg in and sweep to mount and tripod to choke! Finished with 30min of rolling and also a few hundred push ups, sit ups and squats!

Thursday, grip training, tough and was shattered from the offset, light rolling then starting with escape from knee on belly. We then moved to escape from harness, Wayne showed me a few escapes and movements to finish the arm bar. Then it was broken into groups and then match up to 8 points or sub. Good session in all.

I weighed in at 78.4 today...trying to break the 78 by early next week!
