I was pretty exhausted before today's workout because of a long, hard week - a combination of waking up early due to the early morning sun, tough training, Madi's activities, New Hamburg Live arts festival, and work. I don't think it affected my strength, but it certainly affected my mental state. I didn't feel as focused as normal, and that was noticeable during the met-con. Recently, I've found that I'm able to gauge accurately when my body needs rest during a routine, but that was a bit of a struggle in the early stages of the pull-ups. The first round went well, but I failed several times during the second. I started to get back on track from round 3 onwards, but round 2 cost me some time. 

Still, I'm not being too hard on myself. This wasn't due to a lack of discipline, just a confluence of lots of things catching up with me at the same time. Next week should be better.
