My arms ache; my joints ache; I'm fatigued; my skin is absolutely trashed. Wednesday was Curbar, Yesterday the Matrix and today I went to Curbar again. This is the first time I've had more than two days on in ages and I am really feeling it.
Today I ticked Jihad on the Gorilla Warfare bloc in a couple of goes, along with repeats of all the problems I did on Wednesday. Not bad to say I was only going along to take photos of my friends Tom and Dave! I'm certainly glad I decided to stick my boots in my bag! It was another day of fantastic conditions when I was just glad to be out climbing.
Tomorrow will be my fourth day on and the CWIF will probably leave me completely spanked. I'm under no illusions, I don't think I'll perform well enough to qualify for the semi-finals, but I'd like to place fairly highly. Top forty would be nice and, hopefully, not inachievable!
I'm mildly concerned about my ability to cope with all this training though. My left elbow was aching quite a bit after today's session. It has calmed down now but its worrying me with only 6 weeks til my Mallorca trip. Hopefully getting back into route training will be just the change I need to keep any injuries at bay. I'm going to start looking into antagonistic muscle training too as I've read that elbow injuries can be caused by imbalances in the muscles.
