week four, session one

Short bouldering session. Warmed up on pinks at HCC bouldering. 5 of sets done. Each set was up blue, down pink, 5-6 reps on each so 10-12 problems on each = 60ish moves. Could not have done it on greens, could have done a 6th set. Crowded wall so difficult to do circuits as planned. All on the steep corner, no deviations.

Still felt tired though, long run was on Sunday and biked 20 miles on Monday morning so probably not that surprising. Missed the core work - just starting to get into that :-(

Thoughts in summary so far...
o routed sessions work better as target of grades and numbers stops me from "filtering" my choices to favour my strengths. Works in a social situation as everyone is selecting their own lines anyway
o bouldering circuits work when there's a clear circuit and it's set at an appropriate grade i.e. depot, not HCC
o do X problems has not worked so well, ended up being very selective, especially in a social situation
o core is fun, need to work on progression rather than going all out
o have not done the antagonistic or tabata sessions at all! Need to find a place to fit these into my weekly schedule
o started on lunchtime flexibility sessions again. Benefits already showing in less pain and soreness, especially in shoulders

Nutrition is better (50%) though not perfect by any means
