TODAY SUCKED

thats all need to say to describe my performance/this WO...

Bolo'd some 5:9, then failed on 5:8, then got spanked by 5:7s

I was reduced to running laps on 5:6
and I pulled out a very leg oriented 5:8 that some girl setup at the end

I thought I was going to suck on the run today
but it was the climb that suffered :-(

Rock Gym

Earlier today...
No partner to belay...

Ended up running consecutive lap routes in the bouldering room...

Ran D2x3 to warmup...
tried to work the footing a little different each time

Began to run D3's

Ran every D3 in the room 2x
one time slow to really work the route and all the laybacks and footwork
then 2nd time for all-out speed and movement fluidity...

Then started to run D4's single attempts...

I was already pumped at this point...

finished on the 3rd D4... totally pumped... sore... I didn't want to push it today... this WO was supposed to be short and sweet

Then LAfit showed up and I had to bail, because she is such a huge distraction for me...

Forgot to drink my shaker bottle afterward -

RUN

Lwr legs still hurting yesterday...

But I walked more than usual at work and they felt better...
I think I am resting too much...

So I hit the road this morning, hoping to jump-start my energy lvls and warm those feet back up...

I was going to run/hike the foothill loop, but it was VEEERRRY dark
and as I was running up the arroyo, I think a snake hissed at me
(((Close call??... ... I don't know, and hope not)))

about 45min of running total, nice loop, couple gradual hills
after the hissing, I stuck to the pavement...
I didn't really have my trail equilibrium anyway...

stretched out the legs / calves and expanded the lungs
the route I picked, took me uphill the stretch home which was different,
but not unwelcome... nice jog... feel good

Elevation laps w/ LAfit tomorrow morning (light pack)

Pack Training...

I have been contemplating this Himalayan Seminar up in WA...
I have not commited the time or $, but need to start the training regardless...

The 10k race is history, it served its purpose as a STG
in getting me in better shape


So UL race pack this morning in the morning sun heat (yuk)

Eliminator trail x2 (laps) up south mountain
no time, prolly 14-1600ft of ELV...

Very sweaty, felt good
LAfit went, but did not pack, so she was nice enough to wait for me

Run (trail)

Slept in till 0700 (oh so nice)

hadn't planned on doing anything today

Drove to Warpaint TH

ran desert classic around the CDL loop and back
3.6 miles, totally cake, 20 something minutes

This trail is my enemy...
whenever I go up here in the morning,
I always get about 3/4 of a mile in to it and
have to use the bathroom...
IT NEVER FAILS!?

that is the worst feeling in the world.
especially when you want to really push the run or hike
and are otherwise feeling good...


Anyway, good run... Stretched out the muscles from the pounding hike yesterday... and it was a beautiful day!

Can feel my biceps tendons humming beneath...

The forearms, hands, and shoulders need rest...
I knew I would run into climbing overtraining

Pack Hike

LAfit's Trail...

This is a trail that is not marked on the map
She likes to climb it because it is accessable from the street
straight to the mountain...
IE: not too much flat hiking before the elevation

One lap today... Packs were heavier
We screwed around and had to bail because we were both late for work

Good climb for the one lap
Basically this is an up-and-back route

PRG

Again, freakin climbers are all no-shows!!

I remember some WO partners flaking on me in the weightroom,
but these people are ridiculous....

I need to find a solid WO partner

I bouldered for over an hour, fried my hands

Then LAfit showed up and wanted me to climb
I was pissed off, not friendly, and grudgingly put my harness on.
Ran three consecutive routes 5.6, 5.7, & died on an easy 5.8
I was spend this was @ about the 2hr 10min mark...

I hate the fucking social club workout ethic this climbing gym promotes!!!

I will fix this so I can train here like I do anywhere else!!!

Can you tell I'm pissed?

I just want to improve, and no one takes this serious...
And if they do, they are way beyond my level...

I WILL fix this

Short Run

From the hiking and small amount of climbing
yesterday, my legs were tight

So I just wanted to get my HR up before work
and stretch those legs, release some of the stiffness...

I think I went about 3 to 3.5 miles
Didn't count, didn't time...

I did fly though
after the 1st 1/2 mile, the stride really opened
and I kept what fely like a nice 7-8min mile going throughout

This gives me a good feeling after yesterdays bad training

a day here can start off fine and suddenly turn into dark clouds and rain or be just too friggin' hot and humid to venture out during the hellish hours, usually 11 to 3.

Blew off climbing due to scheduling problems with any partners...
Also I would like to rest-up because we have a day climb on Saturday
which will probably involve technique which is above my level,
but at least I can be rested and strong to attemp it.

Was going to swim, but decided to spend a couple of hours w/LAfit
who was having a bad day and needed my company.


Tomorrow is the big pack hike, IE: doubles on LAfit's trail
She will be riding so I can totally blow it out on my own!

I do love to hike with her!

Light Pack Hike

LAfits trail

Darker than heck this morning, Moon was low and dim

Got lost in desert classic, flat hiking to the mountain -


By the time I found the trail,
I could only climb up once.

Did get 45min of good movement, just not the elevation I wanted.
Realized that was the first time I lead into that trail...
LA-f has always lead in before -
