Overnight flight to Panama, nap then training at Spartan.
I took a flight from Los Angeles at 2 in the morning, arriving five hours later in Panama City. I managed to sleep in the plane, but it was only about four hours total, so when I got here, I took a nice afternoon nap. I am staying with Miguel, who emailed me because he saw on my blog, that I planned to visit Panama.
Miguel is one of the owners of Spartan Jiu Jitsu, where we trained tonight. He is recovering from a knee surgery, so I offered to teach the class. There was a lot of people and the humidity was really high. I was really tired from flying and also from all the training and the competition last week, so I decided to go really easy. I had some nice and easy rounds with some very good guys. One of them had some friends on Equador and Venezuela, so maybe I’ll go there and train a bit if I can find a cheap flight ticket.
I have a few other gyms to visit here in Panama before I leave for Colombia on Thursday, but now I need to sleep as much as I can. My body is screaming for rest and I’ll listen to it for once I think. I’ll see if I can squeeze in one training a day and some surfing Wednesday too, depending on how I feel.

You da man Christian. Its unfortunate I wasnt able to meet up with you when you were in NYC. I really respect and admire your attitude about things and you seem to be taking it all in stride. I could use some of that serenity, in the meantime I’ll watch your travels.
