30 - 4 hours misc bouldering.
31 - 20 mins run (= 30 mins for non-cripples).

And that's me. 3 days missed in 31, not bad. I needed the last one, I just felt knackered after continuous gym and bouldering.

I estimate the Sharkathon provided 15-25% extra motivation where it was needed.

Cheers for the motivation Shark

I missed a few days at the end due to work, illness and injury but managed a 3.4kg weight loss... half a stone in old money I guess. So all in all, taking part at the start gave me a good boost for the rest of the month.

Great start to my year, irregardless of the odd injury, which I would have sustained anyways... Shame I've spent the monies saved from the booze on bike bits and a bouldering guide to Squamish... Gonna be an expensive summer!!!

I survived Sharkathon and kept up with it!

Some thoughts / data:
Weight at start: 89.5
Weight at end: 86
Outdoor bouldering sessions: 8
Indoor bouldering sessions: 0
Hangboard sessions: 8
Surfs: 7
Hikes: 3
Trail runs: 8
Weights / plyo sessions: 8
Leg rehab sessions: 7

Overall feelings:
  • I'm really happy with how quickly I've gotten back into bouldering - 4 January was my first day climbing in months after injury / motivation issues and, over 8 days outside in January, I ticked 14 problems in the 7s, including one 7C
  • Very active month, but not insanely so - I felt tired but not exhausted and I don't normally take much more than a rest day a week anyway, so  it didn't feel like a huge stretch
  • I found that I did have dips in motivation, so it was good to have 'cheat' exercises. If I felt too tired for a run, a hike in the forest wasn't unpalatable
  • Averaged over 1.5 exercise sessions a day (but I split out, say, hangboarding and pushups / core work, even if I did them at the same time)
  • A low carb diet was really helpful in terms of both energy levels and weight loss. I'm very happy with th weight loss, especially because it's come without massive sacrifice - The only real sacrifices are beer, burgers and pizzas, and I'm going to continue to go without them as much as possible

Thanks again for the motivation.
