11/17

Workout:

4x 150s @ 1:1.5 rest

Intensity - 8/10. This was very hard, though the second two were easier because Ding and Mick bailed on me so there was no one to compete with

Throwing - 3 man marking with Ding and Mick. Ding's throws are mind-boggling. I don't know how he does it. He steps out, the mark is there, and then his arm just extends past theirs and he throws it. Wish I could do it. My wide flicks were bad. I like my no-pivot backhand right now; it feels good. I also like my wide backhand right now.
