Last climb, last run (in Berlin)
Yesterday went to Magic Mountain again with Justin and we met Axelle and her friend Thomas there. Justin showed me how its done! Completing every single route whereas I failed to complete two and did not do a single one clean. We started with an awkward 6- (5.8). Definitely not a great warmup. Then we did a fun 7- (5.10b) that involved a short horizontal section. Pumpy at the beginning and technical at the end. The next one was a completely different style, slightly stemmy and slabby with high feet (often) that clocked at 6+ (5.10a). Last lead was a 7- (5.10b) along an arrete which I couldn't finish. Then we top roped two 7+ (5.10d). I did the first very well (we had tried it last time and I had climbed it much worse). The second I could not finish.
Clearly I am lacking stamina. I think I need to climb two or three routes in a row at BKB and TRC to increase my endurence.
This morning I went running in Tierdarten one more time. I did intervals: 8 sets of 3 minutes on, 1:30 minutes off. Last week I had done 6 of those and it felt a bit easy at a 8 min/mi pace, so I decided to try and increase to 7:30 min/mi. I didn't quite achieve my goal, as you can see below, but it was still an improvement.
Split 1: 7:42
Split 2: 7:29
Split 3: 7:43
Split 4: 7:37
Split 5: 7:44
Split 6: 7:36
Split 7: 7:42
Split 8: 7:22
