Training Log Archive: O9Man

Family Guy, Simpsons and then Spartacus.

Got five climbs in... a couple of which required a lot of effort! Mostly 5.8 and 5.9 I think.

Run with Marti... he's definitely got some jam back! He slowed down a couple of times, but not a whole lot.

Bouldering again. Did #8 a few times before I remembered how to do it. Then tried #12 a few times. It's tricky. Tried a few others, but nothing seriously. Did some traversing. Took it somewhat easy as I don't want to be useless at hockey tonight!

Clinched a playoff spot and didn't get any penalties. Look ma, I'm not a goon!

Bouldered today as I didn't have a partner. Did some traversing because I like to traverse, and tried three problems. #7, #8 and a red one in near #7 Got #8 with a nice weight transfer on my right leg. #7 seems tricky, but I'll keep at it... same with red.

I was shooting for 2 hrs, but Snooch came downstairs and asked if I wanted to watch Glee. We've both been sick and avoiding each other, so it was nice to hang out for a bit.

Project work on "Luvin' the Alien", 5.9. Two attempts at basically doing it right as opposed to just doing it. Made it to the last move each time.

Mr. Wiggles (or something), 5.9, exciting route! Got it with one fall. Really enjoyable, must do again. Bjarni had it with a fall or two too, and we both did completely different routes.

5.8 overhang that gave me trouble last week. Smoked it perfectly.

Had Madmartigan with me, but he didn't slow me down. Old guy ran hard! 40+ km/hr winds on the way back up the hill (ran down past the park and then back up dipping into some side streets.) It was brutal. The side streets were really icy, rolled both ankles and had a two falls. Ain't no thang.

Running with forefoot strike feels great. I feel like there is more room for speed, and the control over my legs is strong. Still struggling on the levels though, downhill and uphill seem to be going well. Probably because all I really have around here is hill.

Ear felt awful. Three days of antibiotics left, really hoping it clears up before then!

Good workout. Watched House and the second half of Spartacus.
