Foundry League

It was the last round of the Foundry League last night. Another set of cracking blocs. Simon said that everyone left with a smile on their face.

The results are out already. I won :-)

The Foundry has a blog where they are posting info, results etc. This includes the SWBL for which the last round is on the 13th Feb at the works.

Works League

Another good set of blocs. I got onto the steep sections a bit late and powered out. Oops. I had random bursts of energy. These were on my repeat goes typically. I was therefore dropping points left right and centre, but had a good workout and lots of fun.

I went back on Sunday and didn't top any more comp blocs. I did all the new volume blocs - some bold moves and flicks required, along with multiple kneebars on a brown :-)

Fitness First supplied me and a mate with a free taster session on Saturday. My mate ran about 10km whilst I ran for 10mins to warm up for a weights session. The assisted pull-up/dip machine seems a good way of working the one armers, but I got some strange looks from the locals in Chesterfield!

Steam room seemed the logical option to finish the session. I left feeling pampered, but could feel the effects climbing on Sunday.

Flapper


Had a really good session at the Matrix today. Rob Napier and Karl Bacon set the last comp routes. They're good. I was working some that I hadn't done in the comp. I topped two more and made considerable advancements on two others. But unfortunately also gained a big flapper on my little finger.
