Showing up for sparring without my boxing boots wasn't the best moves yet on my part but the sparring had to go on. I had made my way to Elorde, Coach Arman was warming up for the session, and that's when I had made the discovery. My boots were back at the condo, drying off. Safe place for them but not where they should have been. They should have been in my bag. Regardless, sparring did go on without them.
Six rounds of sparring with Coach Arman, barefoot. A slight round twist in my ankle in the second round caused a bit of concern and I stepped back to shake it off but it seemed to be not an issue. In the fifth round I took an accidental shoulder to my head and then rammed into Coach Arman head first -- his head crashing into mine -- and that felt "great". My head took a beating in that particular round.
After sparring I did a few rounds on the speed bag and then continued training via hitting the heavy bag for four rounds. Bag work was then followed with ab work.
I hit the gym later on in the evening, for weight training, legs.
I figured it out, 1500 calories. That's the grand total of how many calories a day my body is burning training here in the Philippines. Yikes.
