“Fran”

Super stoked with the 405! This after a long competition in which I finished 10th behind some pretty good competitors. I need some serious work with my upper body endurance this summer. That’s what screwed me at regionals this year and I won’t be letting that happen again.

Not a great training day. Felt sluggish all day. Tried out this nighttime supp with ZMA and melatonin last night. I feel like I have been inside a tunnel all day. CNS just can’t seem to get going.
