Was thinking about training for BJJ European Championship in Feb22 but with the uncertainties in travel and such like, I thought I didn’t want to train for 10 weeks for a BJJ comp and not even be able to board the plane. Decided to sign up for a Masters track meet (1 mile race) in January and work towards a peak 2.4km instead.
