Really fun boxing class yesterday. Partnered-up with the tallest guy in class again and it's just blatant how we always pick each other now. Took turns throwing simple combos and defending. Got to practice actual shovel hooks this time by drilling a 6 to the body, 5 to the body, and ending with a 3 that we ducked under. The hook to the body followed by the head shot on the same side always makes me think of Tyson. This guy doesn't have the best cardio and tends to slow down, but I appreciate that he never stops the action and keeps pushing. 

Because I'm usually facing against guys smaller than me, staying close to this partner while throwing to the body made me think holy shit, there's so much target for me to hit if this were a fight. Not a feeling I'm used to. I just need to find a big guy who also moves fast.

We ended doing some P.E.-style team races. Formed 2 lines outside and bear crawled, side shuffled, and sprinted against the other team's opponent. I exploded out of the gate bear crawling and my abs suddenly got attacked by a massive cramping episode from the squats and ab work I did yesterday, which made me lose the round. Won the rest of the rounds without incident or trouble. I was WAY ahead of my opponent during the sprint, which I've always been good at. I'm built like a cheetah but trying to be a lion.
