Training Log Archive: renni

@Magnet with Rolf
5a, 5b, 5c, 6a+*, (6b), (6b), (6a+), 5c, 5b - up, down, up
blocked only once the whole evening. Climbed till I fell.

Very, very easy jogging. Every step is hard. At a horse farm, the farmer just let run the horses out to the field - impressing, more than 10 horses in full speed.

@Magnet with Mikee
4x 4c with different exercises to warm up
6a, (6b), (6a+), (6b+)

Tired all the time. Dont feel ready for sports - no idea why. Ok, the season is over, so a longer brake is ok.

Event: 9. Nationaler OL / Tomila (BE)
 

Lond-distance-race with mass-start. Had a good race, but after the first half, I definitely got to suffer from the lack of training

Simones Gold Sprint in Burgdorf - Gyrischachen.
Very good course. I had a good race, but without training, there is no chance to run fast ...

From home to the competition center, then to the start, and home again after the finish

6a*: onsight
6a: redpoint (could climb it, but checked out the route before)
(6a): with blocks (or toprope), but at least can do all the moves
((6a)): had to block all the time, or some moves not possible (cheated)

Buoux, climbed till two o clock in the afternoon. Sunny and quite warm. After that drove home (rainy and cold - want to go back)
4 rope lengths route "Marabounta"
6a*, 5b*, 5c*, 5c*
then at the upper part of the rock again:
6a*, (6a+), 6a+ the same route redpoint

Buoux:
5c*, 6a*, 6a+*, 6a*, (6a+), ((6b)) with cheating and checking out the moves, (6b) the same route again but toprope

Rest day. Visited a couple of small, lovely villages (Louremarin and Bonnieux)

Buoux
We did "Franco Belge" a 4 rope-length route:
(6a), (6a), 5c*, 5b*
The start of the route was crazy difficult - certainely more than 6a-moves.
On the upper part of the rock, there was beautiful climbing, so we did more of it:
5c*, 5c*, 6a*

Buoux
5c*, 5c*, 5b*, (6b+) - took the wrong route, originally wanted to do a 5c, but managed to fight me up somehow (perhaps only 6b, because I left out the last two meters or so.
6a*, 5c*, (6a+), (6a+) - the same route twice, wanted to redpoint it, but was too tired actually

In Buoux (southern France). Good Weather during the whole week. Awesome climbing and very good food. Just how vacations should be...
Easy start at the first day:
5c*, 6a*, 6a*, (6a+) half of it, (6a+) the same route toprope

Gripboard and core exercise

Very tired after the two races of the weekend. Actually allready after saturday. I have a not too grave cold, and I don't feel sick either, but I feel like after an adventure race or a similar several hour event. So fighting some bazillus probabely - but for quite a long time by now.

Event: 8. Nationaler OL (BE)
 

National event stampf. Beatiful landscape and view. Mostly open terrain and a few badly runnable forest parts. The second half of the course was technical easy but cordinatively difficult downhill running.
I made a 180 degree mistake running away from 2 and another mistake searching 3. So I had 3-4 minutes mistake to 3. Besides that, I had a good race and was happy - till reading out my SI-card. Mispunched ;-(
after the long leg - nr. 8 - I took the control a bit higher than mine. Distracted by other people and at that moment 100% sure to be at the right control, I obviously forgot to check the number.
This happens to me too often. My feeling tells me, that I check numbers in 99% of the cases, and every "not checking" results in a mispunch. But being realistic, this can't be the case. I have to reautomate my control-area-concept.

Event: 7. Nationaler OL (BE)
 

National event Guntelsey. Very nice forest and good courses, where you had to run straight a lot. But because of the many paths, it was easy nevertheless, and too short. 18/36

@Magnet with Röfe and Mikee: 5a+, 5b, 5b+, 6a, ((6a+)), 6a, 6a?, ((6a+)), 6a+
