Goals:
Find some nice brightly coloured wifebeater vests so I can both be photogenic and not overheat.
Last week:
Mon - n/a
Tue - 1 hour energetic moshing @ Bolt Thrower gig, Good core training.
Wed - 2 steady sport routes @ Smalldale, okay, got pumped on one, back off another route.
Thu - n/a, shoulder sore from sleeping funny.
Fri - 1 good steep jamming trad lead, 1 hour medium bouldering @ Duntelchaig, both good diverse training.
Sat - 4 good trad leads @ Ardmair, climbed well and with confidence
Sun - 2 good trad leads @ Lochan Dubh, again climbed well and pushed on through a steep crux / 2 steady sport leads @ Moy Rock, difficult route reading and got cross and pumped on one but pushed through due to stubborness, good. Finger slightly sore due to pressure from holds.
Comments:
Ace week, particularly the Bolt Thrower gig (discovered a new way to mosh from the core, more suitable for the short haired, and less damaging to the neck, kinda useful as my neck and shoulders have been stiff and sore from sleeping funny most of the week) and the weekend which is one of the best weekends I've had for years. Funnily enough I found my previous week's indoor training didn't seem to help much with sport stamina (still got very pumped) but did help with my trad confidence - I had an unusually high level of committment and go-for-it, something I very rarely achieve, and I made good use out of it. Will keep trying to capitalise on this if I can, and otherwise keep mixing it up with bouldering and sport which I'm finding useful for the syke. I need to do more antagonistic exercises as although my body is okay, neck and shoulders need some work.
