Sparring went really well. Coach Anthony said that was the best head movement he's seen me utilize and that I stayed in the pocket more. He did criticize my stalking; basically I was walking the opponent down and crossing my legs in the process, but he also said it was the other guys loss for not capitalizing on that.

Did really well at avoiding headshots, as mentioned above, but my legs got chewed up. Nothing too bad though.

Though I kept a good pace I've been feeling awful while sparring. I start overheating in my headgear and it feels like I'm suffocating. The no duh answer is to get better cardio but I feel like I didn't experience this before even when I gassed. I'll attack it from a brute force angle and just train to suffer more at home. I can run all day but sparring is a very different kind of fatigue. Wish I hadn't gutted my breath restriction mask for Wasteland Weekend.

The friend workout isn't going through so I'm just going to chill at home tonight and meet up tomorrow. My legs are pretty sore anyways.
