HB # 9, Season 9

Yesterday was fairly productive. I've been, yesterday and this morning, going for fasted walks for 30mins or so. Don't know that i'm torching a lot of fat, but i do feel better, and it's stretching me out a li'l from the HIIT Sprints. Also today i got in about 1.5hrs on the mt. bike (lots of sprinting and resting), and then 6 Sprint intervals on the 20/40sec timer. Good workout.

Yesterday afternoon (10/12/18) got in a little over an hour and a half on the mt. bike, and then after 21:00 got in HB #9--last Hangboard sesh for the season. It was gorgeously cold out there (45-50deg) and it made for a fine workout. I do wanna muse about this workout a li'l bit since i have the habit of reading the last post of a given workout for the season, and skipping the others; and i usually don't include all the info for next time i wish i had. It seems to work best to tape F3/4 and not F2, and then untape at the marked bit. This will be the second time i've transitioned to this Heavy pyramid from the Intermediate about halfway through hangboarding, and it seems to help. We'll see how it works with campusing this time 'round. Also i'd consider adding in a pinch--prolly the wide pinch--in the future. Weighed in at 201 clothed, which is a nadir for me.

WUJ: -15

Large Open: [This is F3 to inside dimple]
1: +10: ↔ No fail. Ok.
2: +30: ↔ No fail. Li'l hard at the end.
3: +50: ↔ No fail. Hardish. Cold.

Small Crimp: [Shallow depression in the Trango board]
1: -60: ↑ Yeah. Still not bad.
2: -40: ↑ Yeah! Hard at the end, but no fail.
3: -15: ↑ HA! got 1 solid, then fail. I'm ok with that.

F 2/3/4: [Untape here. this is the shallow scolloped 3 finger pocket]
1: -15: ↔ Yup. No fail.
2: +5: ↔ No fail. Pretty easy again.
3: +45: ↑ HAha! No fail! Could go up again. That was a 10# incr!

Slopa':
1: +20: ↔ No fail, but it got mighty hard last rep.
2: +40: ↔ No fail. Not bad.
3: +85: ↑ WOO! Last 2 secs last rep. That's a 10# bump. 'Bout right.

F 3/4/5: [Also shallow scalloped pocket]
1: -35: ↑ No fail! Reeeal hard at the end.
2: -20: ↔ Whew! No fail, but the burn...
3: +10: ↑ HA! Maybe last 1/2 sec last rep! WOO! No ruptured tendons!

SemiClosed: [Small rail, F3 to outside dimple]
1: -50: ↔ No fail. Pretty easy. Didn't really bother shaking out twixt reps.
2: -30: ↔ Yeah, no fail. Better i think.
3: +5: ↔ Got 1 solid, then fail on last 2 secs rep 2 and last half of rep 3. Contemplated bumping to +10 on this, but i'm glad i didn't. Pretty baked here.

Great workout to end on. Next comes campusing.
