Tue 17th Sep

left patellar tendon is sore / inflamed - not sure from what, maybe the extra BJJ? The rowing? Increased intensity / volume in squats or the barbell split squats? I don't think I would blame the squats - maybe split squats or bjj?

I'm doing yoga a in the morning consistently 20-30mins.

Mon 16th 

10pm (!) Row 30r20
7707m - HR was up but felt like I had a bit more in the tank

AM - Paul Schreiner Seminar

I met Christian and went. I wasn't going to go. Did good front headlock stuff and I did 2 rolls at the end. I got to inside senkaku against Christian and my left leg let me know it was there. I rolled with Fox and he got me in a single leg x with a scoop grip on my left knee and I had to go with it - forced internal rotation, I got out of jail! I was a little tender afterwards but all ok!
