a.m., walked one hour up and down at Hinckley

p.m., Xfit Games Open WOD #1
AMRAP in 10 minutes
30 du, 15 gto 75#

made 2 rounds & 17 dus,
finished the third round in 12:32

compare to first try at this WOD on 3-19-11 in the SoP (1 round + 30dus + 5gto)

got in 10 more gtos and 17 more dus.

The dus were easier, but the GTOs were harder. Am 6 pounds lighter today doing this than I was on 3-19-11.

Karen: 13:41, with elbows touching outside the thighs on each rep, with the sand filled b-ball instead of the big ball. The big ball makes my elbows hurt...

Then did some OHS practice (was this a good idea after Karen???)

Going to play 18 this afternoon in the heat to train for N.C.!

Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

Just got home from probably the worst climbing trip I've ever been on. The first route on Saturday, Trad Sucker, felt hard and it was only a 5.11c. I ended up redpointing it on the second go, but it was a bad omen for the rest of the weekend. Next I got on Twisted 5.11b, that I had top roped last trip to the Red, and redpointed it first go. Next got on Ale 8 one 5.12b at the mother load. It was all I could do to go from bolt to bolt. I did all the moves but in no way did I feel like I could send it. On Sunday I got on a 5.10 something to warmup and couldn't get past the first bolt. I tried three times but my head wouldn't let me pull over the low bulge. I got so ****ed at myself that I wasn't able to climb the rest of the day. All I could think was "I hate over hanging routes." I never want to go to the Red again. I HATE IT!

Swam 1100m in 26:47 using the pull buoy b/c my thighs, hips, and lower back wouldn't work after yesterday's Karen then biking then golf.

@Jeff, sorry to hear about the RRG trip. Sounds like NRG trips where 1/2 the time is spent at the cirque and the other half is spent on either side of the cirque are likely in your future. Or, at the RRG, there is Military wall, which has some really nice face climbing about 40 yards away from some crazy overhanging RRG stuff. The motherlode is only one of hundreds of crags at the RRG, there are other crags where there are NRG-like face climbs very near to more RRG-overhanging-pockety stuff. For example, there is Autograph 11a (crazy RRG overhanging crap) right beside Apopleptic Chick from Missouri 10b, NRG face climb. Both of these climbs are 100 yards from a very nice wall that has both Jill-like 12a face climbs and Lena-like overhanging RRG monsters. So, before you go the next time, and you know you're going again..., let's get into my guidebook and pick an area that will accomodate both your styles...

Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

2 TGU's each side (every kb in the shed-5-10-10-15-20-35-45-53-72) took the 72# kb outside!
1 Problem
9 rounds + 1 additional problem to make it an even 10.

Fingerboard Workout 45 Minutes

Afterwards I tried some HSPU on my parallettes (thanks Jeff). I did better than I thought I would. Fun.

Jeff, I'm sure the heat didn't help the climbing. This fall the rock will feel magical after climbing mid summer. I also agree with JT's advice.
