Today was overall a decent session ... felt solid on the back squats, but I haven't been cleaning/front squatting much this last year and I definitely felt that today... felt tight and not great on those, but it was good to get them in... my wife and I are doing a partner workout/in-house competition in a few weeks and there is a 3 RM hang clean as an event ... will be incorporating cleans up until that event.

Complete Rest ... was plannning on training today, but woke up feeling decently fatigued and sick... about to head out on vacation so I was hoping to get something in, but just couldn't with how I was feeling. Hopefully can get a bit of activity in over the trip.
I lowered down the volume/intensity on this workout... had a long day yesterday (left house at 0610, returned 2200, two cardio sessions) and didn't sleep well at all last night ... had 5 drinks between 5 pm and 8 pm and I did not feel great sleeping or most of today... Overall also definitely dealing with a good deal of work/life stress... but got in what I could and I am looking forward to feeling better tomorrow.

Manuever Under Fire: 2:15 w/ grenade hit = 2:10 (100 points)
This is my first 300 CFT (perfect score) ever, it didn't feel too bad overall... I think the biggest factor is that I carried a guy who weighed 190# today and typically I carry someone in the 200ish range, but thankfully there was a 190# guy there today. Overall not too taxing of a morning, enjoyed getting this in during good weather.
PM Workout (1500)
Easy 5 Mile Run
-Complete ... didn't get the time, just ran 5 casual and enjoyed myself. Really great weather in DC for November, it was about 75 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze ... great conditions.
Didn't feel particularly great today... this has been a long stressful week and it really caught up with me... I also tweaked my knee a few weeks ago and despite it not hurting at all, it was still tough to fully focus on a heavy back squat single given that was lingering on my mind.... coupled with the stress, today wasn't great, but got in what intensity I could.
