Back at work
planning
2009-08-01
..
note: although I planned this in my
last log, I want to have it here since it's this week that I should be
getting the P90X+ DVDs
and
starting a Pre-program to see how they'll fit in when I re-load the training
in September. I read today on a forum that it's mostly the Interval DVD that
is extreme, and that the others are more for maintaining than for building.
This is fine by me, though I think there will still be exercises in each
session that I'll need to adapt..
I find
the schedule on the web.. so I start visualizing the plan.

was an easy one anyways. A Tylénol helps me through the class but I don't
stay for Cardio Militaire.

Still a little stiff, and to fragile to go

but I take some in the evening and still don't feel well
doing a WO. I'm sort of scared of hiking what we have
planned for Saturday.

Mounts Flume & Liberty

With Gabriel
Have been wanting to do this trail since we've seen
Liberty from Lincoln-Lafayette But we were waiting for a dry day.. and it
hasn't been raining for over 3 days.. so that's good!

It's only the last hour that is really challenging.
One thing that I experienced was climbing by pushing left foot to the left
and right hand to the right on opposite rocks that had no place to grip.
NOTE: If I do this trail again or something like Mount Washington's
Huntington Ravine.. I want to have either new hiking boots (new soles) or
special non-slip soles for climbing slipery rocks.
Lunch STOP at First Peak of
Flume

Would have stayed longer if there had been less
bugs.

It's going down that we realize how much we
had actually gone up, since during the challenging part going up, we
couldn't really go fast, because we had to be careful not to slip.
Scrambling Gear Guide
http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/news/article/mps/uan/1378 |
"Approach Shoes Come in two varieties, the
general multi-activity shoe and stickier versions designed for
climbing use and featuring sticky rubber like those from Five.Ten.
General purpose shoes tend to have decent lateral rigidity these days
and apart from the lack of ankle protection, which means they're not
always ideal for foot jams in rough cracks, perform pretty much like
walking boots.
Shoes using genuinely sticky rubber will perform
more like a rock shoe with better smearing ability than boots and, if
fitted closely, good sensitivity on the rock. Great for slabbier route
which call for smearing and well up to easier stuff too.
Specialist Scrambling / Via Ferrata Boots
Not a lot of these about, the Scarpa Mescalito being probably the best
known with a stiff mid-sole and sticky rubber where it counts,
Garmont's new Ferrata boot, which also comes in a fully stiff shoe
version, also looks to have come from the same mould and looks like a
modern version of the Kletterschue. These are ideal for harder
scramblers and cheating on grade ones, they'll also handle long, mid-grade
climbing routes and are comfortable for walking as well. Disadvantages?
The stickier the rubber, the more likely it is to wear rapidly with
use which is presumably why Scarpa replaced their original full
Megabite rubber sole with an updated version which has a sticky toes
section but otherwise standard rubber. The best solution but do you
scramble often and hard enough to justify the outlay?" |
It's
not that the places that I go to are sooo difficult, it's just that I
need to put the most things on my side. With something like the Scarpa
Zen Lady?
