Sine through a lightless tunnel

Ma and Pa and Meme visited for the weekend--ergo i got nearly nothing done workout-wise for the duration. Plus--for some reason--i slept horribly. i think i may have been somewhat sick. Did go climb on saturday, quite against the voice of wisdom and the body language of Steph. It was pretty much a complete waste of time though. No energy, and i felt guilty for being there to boot. So i went back home a bit early to get on with doing nothing at all for the remainder of the day. Didn't get any enduro workouts in, and didn't get the irongym workouts in.

Yesterday was different. i went climbing. Still a little tired, but a different kind of tired. It was that kind of tired where you just feel like your head's in a cloud, and you just have to shake it harder. So i ended up climbing seven v4s. Four of 'em i got in under an hour, all of 'em new to me. went back after class and got three more. That would be a pretty huge PR for me, since just a few weeks ago i got six v3s in a workout, which was also a PR. i feel like if i could get my left hand to heal, and i could crimp again, i'd be starting to climb hard stuff again. i also worked all the moves out on a v5, and i think it'll go if i can get in fresh. Anyhow, that was definitely the highlight of the weekend's workouts. Oh, and my new bike tires came in yesterday, so i'm amped to break 'em in.

Got in a swim today. 500 straight, then 5 x 100s on a 5sec interval. 100 of cd.

That first paragraph sounds like my life in general right now. Good on ya! That sounds like a stooopid huge ammount of climbing.

It was rather a lot of climbing. i was running through the climbs with steph last night (she wasn't as excited about it as i, strangely), and i was a little surprised at how much climbing i ended up doing. i don't think i'd ever gotten three v4s in one working session. 'Fact, i can't remember ever having gotten two in a session. And the funny thing is i wasn't going for as many as possible. Stopped after the second one, (very happy) and worked a v5 (i literally missed the finish hold). Hands and lats felt a li'l crippled yesterday. That was a good time.
