31.
1.5 hrs at  the wall. 40 press ups.
69.7 kg
No booze.

Bit rubbish really, think 5 or 6 fails, drank basically normally after the first 10 ish days too. Weight is the bright spot, pleased to be under 70 kg for 4 of the last 5 days.

31 1.5 hrs at the gym- treadmill/rehab weights/pool.

Flunked 2 days, but worthwhile challenge. Cheers Shark! :goodidea:

#29 Aero-cap repeaters (20kg assist, min on/min off)
#30 Stretching & eccentrics
#31 Lunchtime max-hangs

Weight; 76.5 kg

Various failures mainly due to work travel, but certainly kept me on track when i might otherwise have been lazy

1 - Walk with Kids - 4 km approx
2 - Walk with Kids + evening bouldering with internal weightbelt
3 - run at lunch
4 - short walk with kids
5 - brisk walk to get car
6 - short walk with kids
7 - lunch run - feeling marginally better, throat still raw though.
8 - Nothing I can recall, packing bags.
9 - Walk to cubs not even ten minutes, run about with cubs
10 - Fly to Geneva
11 - Board all day - Les Gets / Mont Chery
12 - ski all day - Les Gets / Morzine
13 - Ski all day -  Grand Massif  / Flaine
13 - ski all day - Praz de Lys
14 - board all day - Avoriaz / Chatel
15 - ski half day Les Gets - walk around Schipol getting bored when flight delayed.
16 - walk kids to school. Token fingerboards
17 - yoga lunchtime - 1 hour
18 - lunch run, 6 km.
19 - long run - 4 k with Kyle on bike, 13.7 km without
20 - out with kids, can't remember where
21 - nothing
22 - lunch run 7.5km
23 - bouldering session. Felt OK for first session if the year.
24 - nothing much really. Walked kids to school.
25 - lunch hill reps, hard.
26 - long run - 21 km. Fucking grim, pissed down most of the way.
27 - Weights session while watching telly, short walk.
28 - boulder session. Didn't feel terrible, did some hard moves, but a bit sore from weights
29 - treadmill tempo session 5.5 km @ M pace + 2.5 km @HM pace. Hard.
30 - boulder session. Main wall closed for reset for comp, so did circuits, campus board and made some shit up.
31 - lunchtime yoga - felt hard. Interval session on treadmill 4km of 2.5 minute sprints. Knackering

So i see it as a few complete strike outs, and a few below criteria, but i think they were made up for on other days. But that's up to the judging panel.

Ski trip was definitely not dry by any stretch of the imagination, but probably only had a unit a week max since.

Made it!
Just!
Nearly failed last night, had choice of run or wall and choose wall but felt weak and tweaky from Wednesday’s session.
Completed 30mins of warm up climbing, then 3 sets of repeaters and started on Max hangs when joints started complaining and was failing at half the time i was on Monday’s session. 
So a slightly disappointing work out, but a definite win for being sensible for once.  Finished off with some front lever attempts and random core stuff.

Few days off now for some winter stuff then back on it next week.   :weakbench:

Poor show from me (clutching at straws last Saturday especially . . .) the year can only improve. I seem to be doing more cycle commuting than anything else . . .

22 - cycle commute plus indoor climb (about 2 hours)
23 - cycle commute and gymnastic strength stuff in the evening
24 - cycle commute plus indoor climb (1.5 hours)
25 - cycle commute and gymnastic strength stuff in the morning
26 - sporadic but enthusiastic dancing between midnight and 4am, half an hour's football with infants, deep physical regret
27 - 1hr walk, mobility stuff
28  - cycle commute
29  - cycle commute plus gymnastic strength stuff
30  - cycle commute plus gymnastic strength stuff and fingerboard (BM 6C x1 (still avoiding middle 2 on left)
31 - cycle commute

I’m a bit late to report, but barring the day I had my operation and the following day, I managed at least a half hour/an hour walk into town and back pushing the boy in his pram. And if you know a Richmond, you’ll know that’s a good effort as it’s hilly!

I am aware this might not qualify for sharkathon, but I’m pleased I have managed to keep at least a little bit active. The pain before my op was pretty bad, and the recovery has been mildly uncomfortable but nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be. I’ve got a few weeks of light duties left to do, then I can start looking at doing some proper training again. Will start with some shortish runs again I think and then I might be brave and try an easy session at the wall. I’m genuinely bubbling with excitement at the prospect of actually climbing again!

By virtue of having active kids and a physical job I could probably claim to have satisfied the requirements of the Sharkathon but in all honesty it's a fail...

As a month of working on mental health it has been more successful, but that's not for this thread.

Success in whatever direction is worthwhile.

What I liked about the Sharkathon is it gave me not just an excuse/fillip to do something I wanted to anyway, but created a habit I can try to loosely maintain. Cheers :thumbsup:
