Leaping lurgy

My style of climbing is quite static. I've been working on dynamic moves and have improved but need more practice. At team training we had a simulated competition where although I executed several throws and flicks these were generally the moves I was less successful on during the day.

I planned on having a couple of weeks of leaping practice following the last team training, but the lurgy has got the better of me in the second week. I've been surrounded by people with coughs, colds and sore throats who have broken through my defences. Grr

So I'm stuck at home feeling sorry for myself. Working on nothing but trying to get better ready for the European Championships next week (and answering the odd work query!). There's only so much naff TV I can cope with so I hope I get better soon.

Taking the lead

I'll not be winning any prizes on this front yet. I had a leading session at the Foundry and was pleased with my current stamina and power endurance. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I was feeling good. It was a mileage session and I didn't get on anything above 7a. I plan to build on this having a lead session or so each month just to keep my hand in.
