So then, Sunday Aeon and i went with some friendlies to a real live boulder. I haven't bouldered outside in many, many, many moons. That is 1) way fun, and 2) a total head trip. I have issues with topping out 20 feet off the ground. Just kept imagining my femurs buckling. Having gotten over parts of that, it was a ton of fun. Went out with the idea of Aeon doing some climbing (which he did in limited quantities... Watching my 9yo stepping across a yawning abyss 20' up is nerve-wracking); but also to pull off a linked boulder circuit, for which i'd need something like a few v3s, maybe something v2ish, and something v4ish. There was a v3, which i managed, but then we got sidetracked working a couple of v5ish things, one of which i managed to campus.
There is now no flesh left on my volar mitts. But we did some very hard, fun climbing. Can't call what we did any sort of circuit, so i can't say i accomplished my training goal for the session; but i'm at least nominally better equipped for route-sending as a result.
Next session is wednesday, and that'll hafta be at the gym-- so i should be able to keep it real and disciplined.
Today i did a sprint workout. Felt pretty good. Did 6 intervals of 20 secs with 10 secs of rest between, then decided to keep on, rested 10 secs, and did two 50 sec intervals with 10 secs between. Those hurt.
But i weighed in at 197 this morning-- i have somehow fallen off the wagon-- and that's unacceptable. I want to send 5.12 next month.
