Climb:
Bouldered at CRG with Tim for three hours. Spent most of that time working the Boulder League 12.2 900 point problem.
Bouldered two more hours with Matt and Kevin.
Arms feel like rubber.

JT, thanks for the encouragement! Yes, I've come along way since that first time at Tim's mom's. If nothing else, it is a good feeling to know that I can get in the water and do a relatively long swim with some confidence. :)

So I have just finished one month of faithful crossfit (3x a week at CrossFit CTown), 1x a week on the barf barn, coupled with 1 day a week of walking 5k and 2 days a week of swimming. Decided to do a test today....

Walked 1 mile:run:
12.1 WOD (AMRAP 7 minutes, burpees with 6" target jump)
53 (compare to first try of 45, 8 more is a 17.7% improvement).

Walked 1 mile:run:
12.2 WOD (AMRAP 10 minutes, 75# snatch, 115# snatch)
49 (compare to first try of 41, 8 more is 19.5% improvement).
(and consider that this was after having already done 12.1 20 minutes earlier, and being tired in the thighs from yesterdays 5k....)

So thanks Carl and Larry at CrossFit CTown.:thanx:
Guess I'll be back for a second month!

20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats
Rest precisely three minutes between each round.
4:49, 5:01, 6:05, 5:26, 5:56
Always a tough one!

Keep up the good work JT.

Happy Birthday Jeff! Thanks for putting up with me all these years. Keep putting the young bucks in their place.

It got sunny so I took the new bike out for a ride.
Made 6 miles in 28 minutes.
It is taking some getting used to.

Climb:
Bouldered at CRG for two hours. I wanted to work the two problems on the roof that I hadn't finished. The 12.2 700 went down on the third go, but 12.1 800 still alludes me. I'm doing better on, but I still need to work out the beta to keep my feet from cutting when I'm on the two finger pocket.

Thanks, Tim. My birthday is actually Thursday, the day of the comp. Hopefully, I can show these "kids" what a 44 year old climber can do. :)

Tim,

I got the Hi-Temp bumper plates:
1 pair each of: 10,15 & 25.
My 45's are the same dia. as the Hi-Temps, but the rest of my weights get smaller as the weight goes down. Now I don't have to bend over as far! i tried them out today and love them.

Great trip to the Red; we kept saying we can't believe it was still March.
Let me know about the New.
