    Tuesday
    Lifting, hangboarding, and some shoulder mobility stuff

    Wednesday
    Quick climb; less than an hour as I went to a comedy night afterwards. It was decent; I actually got everything I tried (so maybe I should have tried harder). One V4.

    I thought by "decent" you were commenting on the comedy night at first!

    Today: 30 minutes on the hotel treadmill, half running, half walking (and part of the walking half at a 5% incline). Then 10 minutes calisthenics and foam rolling. Wow! The hotel weight room's foam roller had a lot more "give" than mine at home. I can actually see why people would want to do this regularly.

    Also I'm staying at a different hotel from the one hosting the conference so that's giving me extra steps to do. No car, either, but the downtown here is very safe and walkable.

    Dog tired after a busy day yesterday that was topped off with working at the open rowing session. Therefore, kept the planned stationary bike 63' easy in order to get through it (after post 9:30PM start): 88W average, theoretically 15.61 miles at 14.7mph, and ridiculously 82% zone 3 because I guess that's what happens if tired?

    Then my power went out at midnight - huge storm, tornado warnings. Had hoped to row this morning, but complications of power outage prevented.

    Power's still out, 17 hours later. But I'm not there: On the road to Indianapolis.

    No workouts for a few days - traveling and watching Big 10 rowing championships instead, probably lots of walking but not much else.

    Also 25 minutes of swimming --inside! It is 41 F here in South Dakota.

    Leg Day

    Squats 4x10
    Deadlifts 5x5
    Hack Squat 4x10
    Machine Glute Raise 3x5
    Seated Calf Extend 2x10, 2x20
    Leg Extension 2x12
    Leg Curl 2x12
    Cable Crunch 2x10 <<superset>> Machine Low Back Extend 2x10 <<superset>> Plank 2x90s
    Stretching 10 minutes

    Rather disconcerting to step into the gym and half the equipment has been relocated. Turns out it was to make room for some new equipment (along with replacing a few older pieces with newer versions). We already had a hack squat and machine glute raise, but I figured I'd give the new versions a try anyway. The old hack squat looked like a Pacman with a pivot point; this one is an angled sled. The old glute raise had you lay on a sled which pivoted with your motion; this one there's a curved pad in your lower back, a leather belt which goes across the waist, and only the weights go up and down with the lifter's hips. I think I like these new versions more, but not sure if I'll keep them as part of the workout going forward.

    Saturday
    Scuba diving. The forklift that launches our boat was broken, so we're did a couple of shore dives instead. They were lovely; 12 metre max, so shallow; 1 hour each. We saw 2 octopus, many cuttlefish, and a dogfish.

    Sunday
    We went to Swanage pier for more shore diving, but the visibility was terrible so we abandoned the plan.

    I went climbing for 2 hours when I got home, and ok but not outstanding session.

    My training can look pretty boring when viewed from day to day so here is what I'm up to for the next 4 weeks…

    After my conference in Sioux Falls ended I drove across South Dakota to Rapid City. It's been an active vacation for sure.

    Today I swam 24 min in the hotel pool, hiked almost 4 miles across the Wind Cave Canyon trail in Wind Cave National Park (750 calorie burn), then found Hot Spring, SD, and Evan's Plunge, a spring fed pool in a warehouse, basically. But the sauna and hot tub were perfect. Not exercise, but my outing to North America's largest mammoth site--also in Hot Spring--rounded out my day.

    Yesterday, Monday, I rowed a recreational single in the morning - first time this season in a single, and water still cold, so a conservative (more stable) boat choice. 6748m, little over half of it zone 3. Supervised open rowing in the evening, so helped carry several boats but didn't row again myself.

    Treadmill - 1 hr, 3.0 mph, 12% incline

    Wife and I were discussing financial budgeting while we try to pay off some medical bills which finally caught up to us from a couple years ago. One of the expenses looking to let go is my gym membership, since I have access to the military gym with my work. Not ideal, not convenient, but doable. But now I'm going to have to take stock of the equipment they have and plan a routine around what's available, which if memory serves is less than my current gym.

    Climbing.

    I went backwards on one of my main projects (a v4 where I was always getting to the final move last week; this week I fell off the penultimate other than that.) But I did well on the other climbs, so overall it was pretty good, getting three v4s and doing well on a v5.

    A free gym is a great option! (Ask me how I know.) I have confidence you'll figure out ways to keep up your current level of strength.

    Yesterday before flying home, I returned to The Badlands and attempted the Castle Trail but the wind chill was too much. Also, I'm definitely a "marked trail" kind of hiker, not a back country one. Yet.

    Next I did the easy Fossil Trail on a boardwalk, and with rain coming in spurts, that was enough (40 min all together). I hope to come back to this area some day. Yellowstone is on my bucket list.
