| Climbing 2:00:00 [3] | |
| slept:6.0 shoes: Boreal Joker | ||
| Not climbing well tonight - putting it down to fatigue from the weekend tho some gradings may also be off....
Started with a 5 & found it really tough, but later a 6a was pretty straight forward - go figure! Hard boulder route from Rat Race still up - hopefully still there next week as I think I have sussed it but lacked the energy! | ||

Score format with added challenges at some controls to "earn" points. Managed to complete about 1/2 wall traverse before team decision that it was taking too long & we abandoned it. Mark & Andrew completed space hopper relay! Andrew completed slalom skiing on Wii Fit. Juggled oranges. Word search. Back within time limit so no penalties accrued. Knees still aching with downhill running & pace could be better. Feel knee injury really set me back on the additional training I had planned before this event - didn't get to do the hill running & speed reps that I had planned on my holiday. | ||

| (injured) shoes: Saucony Grid Nitrous (New) | ||
| Supposed to be an easy "tickover" run before the weekend....... Knees only aching slightly compared to previously - L>R.
Pretty pleased with that as increased stride length really ached last run. | ||
| C • Good Luck! 2 | ||
Wednesday Jul 16 | ||
| Climbing 3:00:00 [2] | |
| (injured) shoes: Boreal Joker | ||
| A bit of bouldering before the others arrived - was careful not to tackle too many routes & risk being too fatigued to climb later.
Mostly 5+ routes. Completed a couple of 6a's too. Managed ~1/4 way up 6b then changed to yellow 6a route - arms too tired to make a good job of it..... Tired now..... | ||

| Climbing 1:15:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Boreal Joker | ||
| Great to be back on a climbing wall & boulders again!!!!!!!!! Have missed climbing so much!
Very happy/contented person with that tonight. Didn't climb anything more that 5+, but knees not a problem & only knocked right knee once. Roll on Wednesday - will try a 6a or two hopefully...... | ||

| Cycling (Roads) 59:32 [2]18.08 km (3:18 / km) | |
| Usual round route to stables this evening - felt like harder work than normal with different tyres but............. managed to break the hour time wise that has eluded me. Although they are knobbly tyres the narrower width must have made the difference to rolling resistance. | ||

Right knee coping well with demands of racing. Still going to mark log as injured as not able to compete at normal pace due to knee pain - doesn't stop intensity being a 5 as was pushing to the limits that injury would allow. | ||
