Rain

We did the Rivington Nightrunner 10k on Sunday in torrential rain and fog.  I got a little lost up on the moor and romped home in a pathetic 1:17:33.  The Iron Man was a shade over 1 hour.  The kids did the 1km race and seemed to have fun.

We ran 17k yesterday along the last section of the Rivington Ultra 26 course, got soaked again.  The weather has been rotten to say the least.  Saturday I am off to Damnation to see Carcass, then the 26 is on Sunday.  Hopefully I'll get under 5:30 for it.

I think I've got the matting for the Board Room sorted.  I've played on the Wall of Lank a few times, feeling a little less weak but a loooong way to go yet.

Nearly there

The Board Room is getting there now.  A few weeks ago I finished off the board itself, and lined the kid's wall with plywood (attached to the wall with MultiMontis, of course).  I've put on most of teh bolt on holds I have, other than 8 of the wooden holds (I haven't got a big enough Allen key!) and a couple of the Moon jugs (I had run out of long bolts).  I have quite a few screw on foot dinks to add, but I'll have to play on the board more to see where they are to go.  The kids board has 2 problems set so far.

I only got around to clearing out the room last week and tidied everything through - now there is no junk in there, I have measured up for matting and got a quote.  I'll finalise this and get it ordered ASAP. 

I had a play on the Board yesterday, and set a couple of problems which I can't do and which will no doubt end up being 6a+ or something stupid.  I'll need to get the BeardyBeast or Pasty Lord here to calibrate my grading radar.

AP view:

I am incredibly weak, and everything felt very hard.  Hopefully that is motivation in itself......
