Did the same as last week
Got there early, but anwar went first.
Did 6 laps to warm up with mouth guard in.
7 sets, 1 set being: jog down, sprint up the hill, jab right, jab, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1. Tried to make sure after 2nd set that every last right hand on the punches (ie last on 2, 4, 6 etc) was the hardest I could do. I should have done it like that through out, but after the sprinting and all the other punches, I basically was a pussy.
Then 2 laps to cool anwar off and warm me up, then I did it with mouth guard in.
1 lap straight away down to hill base, then sprinted back up
Joined main session and held pads for 2 rounds
1 round technique with just hands. Ended with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1 (would have gone more but just holding was an achievement based on the lactic in the shoulders). 10 singles each side
1 round free lancing. Ended with kicks: 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 both sides
Then my turn
Then spared for 7-8 rounds I guess with rookies, outside of ring, then did 2 rounds in ring. First just boxing with anwar, 2nd was all technique with olley. Just 30s rest with guys in ring, 3 min rounds throughout.
Although for 10 minutes after the sprinting I felt like puking and the shoulders were killing, I feel pretty good (and fucked) during the sparring. The hardest round really was just with anwar and hands. I think we were trying to out chess each other, but because we were so fucked the shots were finding their mark a bit too well and a bit too powerfully. But fuck it was fun
