Remediation

Gotta say this was a weird season. 'Fact, i'm not quite sure what season i'm on here. Was reading back through posts and i finished campusing last season on June 10th. . . . .  Almost 3 months later i'm beginning hangboarding again.

Reckon that last "sending" bit was a smidge protracted by a month or two, even though i don't think i went and projected on rock at all; and only got on real rock maybe thrice.

Anyhow, i did get in some pretty decent PE work once i figured out how at the gym: Since there really aren't any useful boulder problems, i linked up some fairly short but stout toprope problems. Worked out really pretty nicely.

I did, though, finally call it, and restarted a new season. It was getting far enough along that i was loath to take two full weeks off; and i do hope i don't regret that. So far, i've got in all the ARCing (2 weeks of it) and just did the first hangboard sesh tonight. I could tell it'd been too long, 'cuz i couldn't remember e.g. taping sequence, etc. and my hands felt--frayed. A bad sign for the first session. But i did boulder this afternoon, and  probably went a bit hard. I lost some ground to last season's end, which i'd expect; but it wasn't horrible. Of note, i haven't picked up a weight in a terribly long time. Quit deadlifting about when i got into campusing last season.

Here's hangboard #1 (which now would've happened yesterday: 9/5/15).

WUJ: -15:  Check. hands're tired.

Large Open:
1:  +10:  Ok, but i taped f2,5 afterward. pretty painful.
2:  +10:  These were 7.5 and 17.5# regressions respectively. Failed anyhow 'cuz taped slipped.

F2,3 Pocket:
1:  -25:  Failed 'cuz of tape slip
2:  -20:  Failed last two r, although i untaped f4. this made it very painful

SemiClosed:
1:  -40:  No fail. Pretty solid.
2:  -30:  No fail. Pretty hard at the end. Very encouraging.

F2,3,4:
1:  BW:  total fail last 2 r. Hurtin' here.
2:  -10:  Made for a huge regression, but no fail. I'm OK starting back. Skin was really hurting.

Wide Pinch:
1:  -65:  No fail. Nice feeling. Not too far off of where I left last time.
2:  -55:  No fail! That's what i got for the first set last go round.

Sloper:
1:  -15:  No fail, but jus' berly though. I'll take it :)
2:  -10:  No fail. Whew! Hard last one.

Narrow Pinch:
1:  -85:  Hard last, but no fail.
2:  -75:  Very hard, but no fail!  :))

Yeah. Not a bad start. Gotta take time to heal the skin, and i'm gun' hafta get my head back into training, but i'm not so far off that it's hopeless. Could see some gains this season.
