Campus Time (1st sesh)

[Addendum: managed to publish this today (sunday), but the campusing happened Friday. I did do a sprint workout today. About a 7 min warmup run--HR in the mid-140s-- then 7 sprint intervals of 20 secs at around HR 180, with 10 sec's rest between. Getting better at 'em. Also i weighed in at 196 this morning: lightest i've been in a long while. Diet's happening so far.]

Meaty. Campus day 1 was definitely hard, And, honestly, way too hodge-podge. Gunna hafta take the workout journal with me and keep it real and tight next time.

And that's not to say it wasn't a hardcore workout. Did the "warmup boulder ladder" basically correctly. Did 2 or so v0, 2 +/- v1s, 2 or 3 v2s, maybe a v3ish thing or two.

Then did the "serious bouldering". That's where things sorta unravelled. S'posed to give no more than 3 burns to 3 or so hard problems. Only i got sucked into giving a coupla problems what fer, and really probably spent 10 or 12 burns on a couple. Ergo, my hands already felt like figgy pudding when i finally got around to the campusing.

And honestly, i can't say the campusing didn't go well for my first go at it. I'm supposed to have "large," "medium," and "small" rungs on the board. I didn't know what that meant when i made my board, but according to Metolius, that'd come down to 1 1/4", 1", and 3/4" respectively. I do have some 3/4" rungs on the wall, but they are currently a cool-looking decoration. This workout calls for workouts on the large and medium rungs. I don't have anything that size. The next size up i have, i made out of routed 2x4s, so they come out to be 1 1/2"-- extra-large, i s'pose. And i felt good about being able to hang from those.

Did about 4 sets (two leading with each hand) of matching ladders for about four rungs, then 4 sets of basic ladders. Very hard, even without the medium rungs. I do plan to order some though.

I had some fear that this was on the same sort of schedule as the hangboarding: i.e. same workout every 3 days. But it ain't. It's campusing, then 2 full rest days, then limit bouldering, then one rest day, and repeat. Limit bouldering tomorrow, and i truly look forward to that.
