HB #3, S:7

Yesterday got a pretty fine day of it in. Took the kids to the climbgym and met Jordan and Notowha fer some climbling, and we threw down pretty good. That worked out to be a warmup for HB #3, which was kinda experimental, and i'm not sure if it was useful or deleterious. It was so hot during the HB workout, it was hardly worth doing--even though it wasn't that horrible a workout. It was a step down overall from last time.

WUJ: -15

Large Open:
1: +10: Skin tearing R f2--> Tape up.
2: +20: Last coupla secs... Hot!

SemiClosed:
1: -30: Last 2ish fail. F2 skin a hurtin'.
2: -20: Ugh. Horrible last 3. Too hot.

F2,3,4:
1: -30 (decr): Really no fail. Ugh. Flies everywhere.
2: -20 (decr); Last 2 secs last 2. Better!

Wide Pinch:
1: -45: Last 2. Not too bad!
2: -35: Last 3. Hot Bleh.

Slopa':
1: BW (incr): Last 3.
2: +10 (incr): Last 2. Not bad.

Narrow:
1: -75: Last 2ish. Not horrible.
2: -65: Last 2ish again. That's ok.

I think it'd have been a better workout if I'd waited until it was a bit cooler, but that's ok. Interestingly, I'm reading back through last season, and it looks like I only did 6 HB workouts, but there're supposed to be 9. Don't know why that'd have been. I am planning to take 3 solid days off and go for #4 on Wednesday. My skin is already tearing. I guess I'm too old to heal that fast.

Then Phil and i got in a 9 mile MB ride at Kinsey. I hurt my knee climbing last week, and was really nervous about what it'd feel like on a bike; but it went pretty well. No pain. Just lost a li'l fitness from taking 2 weeks off. We definitely weren't going for a PR, but i didn't feel i was sucking too much wind.

Have also gotten in at least some weighted P'lup workouts in, and got up to a couple sets of 3 with +80lbs on--i think it was Monday. I'm a try to keep that up, and see if it makes a difference campusing this time round. Haven't gotten to do much iron work lately.
