We had a good training weekend. We went to the new Awesome wall at Stockport and did a lot of the blocs. Thoroughly enjoyable. I was also checked out by the team physio Anna. I'm not falling apart :-)
Driving was pretty atrocious - heavy rain and lots of surface water.
After a quick trip to Coniston for the Hillingdon Mountaineering Club Christmas meal (cheers guys, good to see you all) I joined the team back in Preston. We went for an 8am run (I'm a bit slow at the moment) and then got some top advice on planning our training, hydration and free weights. A couple of circuits of arm and core based exercises finished the weekend off nicely.
I have a cold now, but my chin's better.

Chin chin
Owww, I split my chin open at the climbing works.
I was on a vertical bit of wall climbing the purples and I know a lot of the holds at the works are filthy but it didn't feel like my foot had moved. The next thing I knew I was lying on the floor having dropped vertically, catching my chin on the way. It felt like a glancing blow but I discovered that my chin was close to dripping. Oops.
After a couple of people finished getting their teas, I was handed a first aid kit and I patched myself up. I was having a good session up to the point of trying to catch a hold with my chin, so was up for continuing. I'd planned to do half the purple circuit before campus work, so I was half way through the session. Unfortunately the place was filling up and the campus area was heaving. Too much chalk and testosterone to get a decent session in so I came home for lunch and a proper patch up.
I'm off to the Foundry now to finish my training in a hopefully less chalky atmosphere. Do you think a taped up chin look will catch on?
