Well, its been a rough couple weeks. Since that last meet I had in March, I have been absolutely swamped with work, school, final graduating things, training, I did a meet in April (Women’s Pro Am) AND trying to sort life out for next year. Still haven’t gotten to that last one 😉

Training has been frustrating in that I’m beginning to think that I need to focus only on one competition setting, that is, raw or equipped. The problem is, I have goals in both, and therefore want to train both in the same week, but I am not sure that would be the optimal way to get stronger. ALSO competing either conventional or sumo is another decision. Maybe I will go back to pulling conventionally in my suit, just try to get it to fit a little better and maybe lose some fat on my thighs so the lockout is better 😉 SO MANY THINGS. So forgive me if training is all over the place, I am just trying to find what feels right. 🙂
