We woke up to a rainy morning, but that wasn’t enough to deter us from driving out to Huntington Beach to train. Unfortunately, in Val’s case she got stuck on the 405 between Beach and the Goldenwest exit due to an accident on the rain-soaked freeway. Once she got off at the exit, she had to turn around and go home because she exceeded her time window for her workout.

Brent and I were both a bit sluggish but we did 21-15-9 Cleans and ring dips. I subbed out regular dips and went light at 65# for the cleans to work on form a bit. I consider this a light workout, sort of an active rest. I noticed though I have a slight groin strain now on the left side, probably from yesterday’s squats. Then, while doing the warm-up run, I tweaked my right knee. All this, the rain, the previous wods are told me to take it easy, so I did. Gotta train smart!
