April 22 - 27

Monday - Morning ride up LCC with Corey, we almost made it to the ruins, some un-biked on snow stopped us. Probably will be rideable in another week or two. No achievements - 10.98 miles, 1:38:04 time, 1496 elevation gain (Corey got 10.96 in 1:39:42, 1492 elevation gain just had to make sure it's documented that I was faster and went further atleast one time this season, he'll be leaving me in the dust soon). RS meeting right when I got home, then ride with Katharine and Peter in the trailer after my RS meeting 3.72 miles, 35 minutes

Tuesday - Corey and I went climbing this morning (Hyrum took carpool for me) - we did top rope the whole time. We did 5 climbs, the same ones, Corey first then me except for the last one, I did the last one first and then Corey and then we were done. 

1. Purple 5.10a South Toprope - looked easy at first, I thought it would be a good warm up. Once Corey was up there it looked a little scary, like the holds were too far apart, but it was ok once I was on the wall - was able to send it
2. next we figured we better try a 5.10c, if we were going to do one at all, before we got spent. So we did a Green 5.10c on the East Buttress (wall on the corner where you can see all the boulders). I was able to send it and not cheat and not have to take a break! 
3. Then a Hot Pink 5.10b right next to the green. That one was good too! Sent it
4. We thought we'd cool down with an easy, so we did a Yellow 5.10a on the Back TR Sector. Easy, good!
5. I felt like I had a little more in me and wanted to do one more so I did a Green 5.10a right next to the yellow. It was a good climb session!

45 min of stretching between 4-5:00 during a talk with Nicole, did 20 min each leg in front split then 5 min trying for pancake with Natalie on my back

Wednesday - Corey and I were going to do a ride this morning, but he didn't get up and I was waiting for him, wasn't sure what was going on but didn't want to go without him but also didn't want to wake him, so I just read. Ended up not going climbing or anything, but did do a 45 second tuck at park while P&K played, one pass on the monkey bars

Thursday - bike ride up LCC with Corey, made it all the way to the ruins! 11.36 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes. I made it up avalanche hill and even made it up the rocks before the second bridge! We did techy on the way down! yay. A few places where we had to walk, but the fallen trees have been removed. On techy, most features (log, two rock piles) were too slippery cause of snow, but it was good other than that! One hour of splits  and leg stretching)

Friday -  

Saturday - tomorrow's my birthday!

Monday - Climbing at 7:20 after Skyline carpool. Elementary kids were home today (end of term in the district?) so I didn't need to hurry home to get them out the door, so Natalie was in charge and I took my sweet time doing lots of climbs - 31 total:

• 1 V4!!! My first one! A White on the short end slab of the south boulder
• 6 V3 sends - most in the OG - I got the White, 2x Red, Blue, and a new Pink on the north boulder (pic below)- it was really hard but I flashed it! At one point on it, I had to kinda pistol squat with my left leg to get up high enough to reach the next hold, I was impressed with myself. Pic and explanation below. I also got the freaking Pink in the OG, hate that one though. Purple is gone, should be a new one there for me to try on Wed!
• 6 V2 sends 
• 13 V1 sends
• 5 V0 sends 
  

So with this pink V3 above, you start on the tag, then move to the two skinny triangles, then you gotta hold the one high on the right, and that's when I had to get my food on top of the first/left skinny triangle so I could stand to reach the big holds, wow! I was impressed with myself. I shared my victory with Wes. I must have been so excited that I didn't log it, cause I had to enter it late, so I thought when I left that I did 31 climbs, but with that one it's 31. Plus also did stretching for 30 minutes on yoga blocks while K played with the train at violin
