Quickie

Sloped in to the climbgym on the way outta town yesterday. Friday they had a bouldering comp so there were tons of new routes up. Good times: kinda wipes the slate clean. They take down all the frustrating crap you've been flailing on for the prior few months. Supposedly i snagged a v5 (which i'd downgrade) and several 3s and 4s. The one striking thing is how fast i get worn out these days. i don't think i've lost much power, but if i'm gonna compete, i've gotta start working on endurance. i need to just do tonnes more volume. And it wouldn't hurt to lose a stone or two.

Few weeks in

Methinks you people have checked out. But i'll post for me so's i can 'member what i've done. Week and a half ago i did a bouldering comp at the college wall there. That was kinda cool actually. They set some pretty fun routes. This last week i went reasonably hard on deads. i tried for a double with 455, but missed. Got that second one off the ground, but it wasn't gunna happen. Then i missed a single with 465 i think. But it worked out to be a good workout. Last monday on the way outta town, i popped in at the climbgym, and snagged a v5 i'd been missing. That was nice. Thurs i stacked shoulders and bench for a heavyish day, then swam a while. Swim's getting better. And there's a light at the end of the tunnel on the job-front, it seems: i might actually get privileged in the hospital soon. And i think it'd be just dandy if i could actually engage in doing the job i'm hired for. And i finally got a full paycheck this last week, and after a nearly-three-year drought in being payed that's a breath of oxygen. Now to find a house there large enough to store my wives and children and livestock...
