May 13 - 18

Monday - Ride up LCC with Corey this morning. Left at 6:30, we saved two puppies that were in the road playing (had licenses, called their owner) I didn't want to go this morning, so I was slow just pedaling one round then another. 11.39 miles, 1 hour 40 min. On the climb after the 3rd bridge Corey took this pic. Not loving how I look in this, but that's what I often think of photos of myself.

On the Lisa Falls hill, a branch caught the hole in my helmet and made me have to stop, but I had just gotten up the first hard part and I was feeling like I was going to do it, so that's too bad. Had fun on the way down, I hit ALL of techy today! Yes, that was cool. I think it was a PR but I didn't stop in the right place for Strava to pick it up, next time I'll go down a bit more before I stop (waiting for Corey) He hasn't ever had music on, he always does podcasts, but today he listened to Don't Sweat the Technique. After he said "Well that was a LOT more fun! I was way more reckless!" haha. We're gonna get him Spotify or itunes.

30 push ups on toes in 46 seconds, then 30 on knees in 55 seconds, 1 min 24 second hang (with two chin ups)

Tuesday - Wonderful Flow this morning, and frog stretch. Then top rope with Corey after carpool. Started off with two 5.10c's, woo! I belayed Corey first. I did two in a row twice, it was hard. I didn't cheat or take a break or fall on any of them today.

• CT red 5.10c
• C black 5.10c
• T black 5.10c, lavender 5.9
• C lavender 5.9
• TC black 5.10d attempt (made it half way, then over to a 5.9 orange for the rest of the way up
• TC yellow 5.10a
• T lavender  5.10b, black 5.7 
• C lavender  5.10b, black 5.7
• TC purple 5.10a (hard to start!)

Wednesday - Took a ride in Corner Canyon after doing initiatories at the Draper temple. I did Clarks - it's been a while since I did Clarks (It's been closed after the houses fell over the edge). It was brutal. Looks like in Aug 2021 I was proud when I didn't have to stop on the hill at all, and I didn't stop today, so good job me. Then rush down, did rush the end another time - 5.83 miles, 56 min. Then I went and did a dozen+ laps on the beginner and intermediate jump line. Got some air a few times, only lost my footing once but I didn't fall, yay. 2.37 miles in 19 minutes

Thursday - Woke up on my own at 5:15 and stretched for 45 minutes as I read my scriptures. Then bouldering this morning by myself after taking skyline carpool - did 20:

• 1 V4s - white one on south boulder
• 7 V3 sends - South Boulder: 3x Black, OG: 2x Red, White, North Boulder: Pink
• 10 V2 sends - One was a really hard Orange route in the OG, that was a tough one!
• 1 V1
• 1 V0 - new one, I just had to do it so I could check them all off 

Then at 6 I drove up the canyon and did 3 loops on techy. Didn't make it up the hill or hit everything but it was good practice. 2.3 miles, 30 minutes. I did get one 3rd place Bronze time 8:40 for the loop. 

Friday - Ride to Ruins with Corey, started at trailhead cause we didn't leave until 7 (C slept in and I had to get back for Natalie's patriotic program at school). But I don't mind time to myself in the morning - I got in 20 minutes of stretching while I read my scriptures and waited for him. 7.09 miles, 1 hour 14 min. 

Saturday - 

May 6 - 11

Monday - It snowed yesterday and it's not going to warm up at all until Friday (67°) and Saturday (71°) so we might be out of biking for a few days, boo. Corey and I went climbing this morning tho, Did top rope most of the time, then I did two quick boulders - I went first today, did two back to back, they were easy but I was spent after doing two in a row! Then Corey did two too -  

• T Red 5.8, purple 5.9
• C Red 5.8, purple 5.9
• T green 5.10c, had to hold onto purple at the top, hard! Corey rested twice then he was done, got half way
• TC yellow 5.10a
• TC green 5.10a
• Black V3
• White V4

Also practiced L sit a little bit, stretched for an hour, and did a 6 min core exercise from fb video (can't find it now), 45 sec on 15 sec off of: reverse plank hold, knees up in reverse plank hold, switch legs, L march, elbow plank hold, pike to plank on elbows

Tuesday - Bouldering at 2:00 by myself, did 30:

• 2 V4s - white one on south boulder
• 4 V3 sends - 2 Black on South Boulder, Red, new White one on North Boulder 
• 2 V3 attempts - Black and Orange by each other on East side of North Boulder
• 10 V2 sends 
• 6 V1s
• 6 V0s

1 hour stretching while I read, 10 handstands

Wednesday - 30 min stretching, bike ride with Corey and Katharine but we only made it through the warm up (road to trailhead) before she fell asleep, so then we did our cooldown (trailhead to home) and Corey said he was done, I drove to the trailhead and rode up past avalanche hill, after that there was too much snow from the storm Sunday and Monday. So two rides: CTK 4.04 miles in 26 minutes, then by myself 3.49 miles, 34 minutes. Did some headstands tonight, plus this quick calisthenics beginner workout. I'm going to learn how to do an L-sit!

Thursday - Quick climbing session with Corey after we took Skyline carpool - 

• C Red 5.8, purple 5.9
• T Red 5.8, purple 5.9
• CT 5.10a black
• CT 5.10b red, then it was 8:00 so we had to be done, but I hurried and did a few boulder problems to try and top it off
• black V3 
• white V4 
• red V3

15 min stretching, headstand and handstands, 20 push ups on toes. I just looked up the Fit Test I did last Aug, I got 30 then, doh, gotta work harder! Tried again and got 16. 45 second handstand. 

Friday - 2:30 pm ride up LCC, made it to 3rd bridge before the snow stopped me. Had to climb over two trees! Also did dirty sprint before coming back home. 

11.54 miles, 1 hour 25 minutes. Talked with Nicole during the bike climb and during 30 min of stretching this morning. My front splits on both sides are now the distance of yoga block from the ground (from the thinnest part of the yoga block). Stretching hurts. I've been doing it for over two months now! Making some progress. Also this morning (well, around noon) did this Cirque du Soleil ab workout - got 4 min in and then Katharine rescued me by having me change her poopy diaper, then finished last 90 seconds, woo! I have room to improve on my form. 4:40pm did 28 pushups before my knee tapped out. 

Saturday - stretching, handstand and headstand. Bike ride with Corey and Rob at 4:!5pm, 7.49 miles in 1 hour 6 minutes. Started at Bike Park, climb up Canyon Hollow and Brocks to the Peakview parking lot, then Rush down and Limelight. 36 achievements! I was pushing hard on Brocks so I was glad to see a PR for that - .38 miles in 4:28 (hey! That's my birthday!) PR on that last week was 4:44. PR for Full Rush DH Official (not via "rush the trees") 2.04 miles, 9:30. PR on Mystic Rhythms - .75 mil 3:41 (16 efforts on that, got 3rd place on that last week 5/4 3:56, 5/1 3:55), previous PR was Nov 1 at 3:53). Limelight was fun, I guess I could get used to riding that. I did 3 loops on the bike park beginner/intermediate track, which I think is called "Like a Boss". I got a little bit of air a few times today on the bike park loop and on a few parts of rush, but just a baby little bit of air, I'm still a beginner!
