Same as last time

Too much too hard again..was supposed to be a relaxing easy session with only red and blue..but ended up trying black and white... :-(.. what to do... with the power I have at the moment it sure will be an interesting trip...leaving in 4 days..

2 hard 2 much

sums up the feeling of this session. Had a plan about what to climb and how to rest ut ended up doing something totally different. In the end tried too many (black) and (white) problems.. in wrong shoes that cost a lot of energy,mentally as well. Result wa 1 (black) flash and another 2nd go.

Systemboard

need something to start me off when doing these late sessions, hard to get motivated. Good structured session with warm up and breaks etc. System board again, new problems up as well. Still hard though and compared with the company I had, clearly need to get stronger..well gotta keep on trying right?

Outside

Against better judgement went to check out some stones in Hult, Alvesta. After some deep snow walking and rock touching found 1 stone in the open that was dry! Everything felt hard though and the 1st contact with real rock was a bit of a chock both movement and skin wise...the short time out was fun though, though everything up to my knees was wet and I had to drive home in wet shoes! Again appreciate Dave MacLeod's comments on that indoor climbing does not really image outdoor climbing. Also need to remember to use my mobile to take some pics on these occasions for my dear followers to see some problems tried..

In & Out

early morning,work,quick session at K and off to Alvesta now. Ok, its been a while due to big over training symptoms,basically the last sessions have been too intense and recuperation time too little! Not good! Specially so close to the trip. So a quick session today for that & travelling. Actually felt ok, more like the other sessions should have been..30 min warm up then 45 min really max. Had a go at 3 white problems that I deemed to be more outdoor granite like.Could do the first moves on all but got shut down in the middle. Fun session really. So ca. 5 sessions to go before leaving, 1/2 hard ones before tapering. Then we will see how this project paid off. I have learnt a lot through this and will give it another try after Easter however with some changes.

Hård B

Went for a session at K with B. Ok warm up I thought. Did a white 2nd go,not white. Worked on some more, but the session turned more into a power than strength session...tried more black problems of which a lot didn't really feel like black problems. Seems to be some problems with marking problems there specially in the red/black area. Also noticed that more then in the other gyms the use of thumb power is more predominant on problems here. Fun...looking forward to the next system wall session.

Hard

session today, feel the last session in my body and fingers. Some traversing, some easy problems then up to the system board. 3 problems to work at...really wanted to work Pś problem, but too long fingernails as well as poor power gave that an end. Ok session anyway ..cooling off by nearly flashing 2 new black problems.

Stressed but fun

again a stressful day at work etc. First strength session at KV's system board, with respect giving company (St,Bo,He&Jo). It was awesome to see what problems they pulled on,while I was trying to just get up the thing. Did my 3x3 thing and finished off with some light campus and nearly flashing a black problem. As usual, fell in love with this type of training, specially after having found problems that just might be possible....

burnt again

The competition is getting tougher, but even though I rested 3 days no go. Felt once again tiered and my core was not up to it. Not all was bad though..flashed 2 black problems and managed to work out the 1st crux move on the white problem from last time. Even was happy with the other problems tested even though I did not do them it felt ok. Now it's over to the strength part (even though I think I did the power part wrong)...we will see 3 weeks left before we are off.. :-D

Getting burnt

by mr.T today. K2 again,nice problems and a lot of them. Was totally unmotivated and nearly called it off. Session was ok in the end..1 black done though tried 7. Found some new favorits..amongst which 1 white we tried. Felt good afterwards...and happy with the session anyway, even found my forgotten waterbottel (meaning 2 things: they didn't clean well since sunday and the guy I talked to on the phone didn't actually look for it either..)
