Campus 5 (S:7), Road Apple, Back Work

This'll be another catch up posting. Did get in Campus 5 on 10/5/17. Believe it was last Wednesday--10/4/17-- that i got in another shorter ride. Then Sat, 10/7/17, did the Road Apple. That went well enough, 'cept i hit The Wall at about 1:50, and basically suffered back home old man style.

Today i got in some back work in the gym. Took last week off--i think mostly 'cuz i couldn't fit it in-- and so today was a li'l rusty. Not too bad though.

P'lups:
20 x bw
10 x +25
7 x +45
4 x +65
2 x +90 These went up ok, but i don't think i had a 3rd in the tank.

Deficit Deads:
14 x 145 (SL)
8 x 245 (SL)
4 x 345 (normal)
1 x 445 (with belt here) This felt hard, and it didn't 2 weeks ago. But it locked.

GoodMornings:
12 x 135
12 x 155
12 x 175

DB Rows:
12 x 90
8 x 105
4 x 120 Went well enough

Cable Rows (low, narrow grip):
A bunch

Hanging Straight leg Raises:
3 x 30
1 x 20

Then Campus #5. That was 10/5. Weighed in at 203.

XXL: Basic. check

L:
Basic: fine
L3M4, and R3M4: yup
L4M5: yup
R4M5: yeah.
L4M6: Yes! Got it.
R4M6: Ugh. no. Don't know why.
Missed that one two more times. Kept hitting and popping off.

M:
L3M4: Missed
R3M4: got it.
L3M4: Weird! Totally not getting this. Not sure why.

L: Bumps: Touched 5 bilat

S: hangs.

Not a bad workout. Pretty much where i ended a year ago. I am a li'l lighter this time round.

YanknYard's coming up in a week and a half. That could be my last one. 'Bout time to move, methinks. :)

Campus 4.1 and a righteous Biking

Right: so i'd tried campus #4 on 9/27, but wasn't healed. Set that down for 3 more days, and came back for the real thing on 9/30. That went much better. Got in a slushy, not-particularly-fun 50 min ride on 9/28. Next day--9/29-- Annie and Aeon and i got in a very decent climbing sesh at the gym.

Campus 4.1 (Weighed in at 202 dressed--bit lighter)

XXL: Basic

L:
Basic: check
R3M4: check
L3M4: check
R4M5: Huh. Li'l hard
L4M5: Ok, betta.
R4M6: Grrrr...touched. No stick.
L4M6: Got it! Better!
R4M6: ARRRGH! WHY?!?

M:
R3M4 and L3M4: Nope. Not worth it. Feelin' the ulnar burn.

L:
Bumps: R to 5 nicely; L caressed 5.

Yesterday, 10/1/17, got in m' longest mt. bike ride to date. Tried to do the Kinsey bit of the road apple rally, and got in a bit over 22mi and took about 2hr 34min. Had to do a lot of route finding, so i could shave a bunch of time off in short order, and i didn't take food, so i was bonking around the 2hr mark. Very good that i got this in pre-race. I think that will go much better now. Prolly gunna take this week easy--try to get in a light ride mid-weekish. One Campus workout to go.

Oh, and i finally broke 200lb this morning: 199 and change. Something's working!
