Saturday
Diving. We got a couple of harbour wreck dives in. The wind was strong, so we couldn't do anything more ambitious.
Sunday
Another harbour wreck. Cracking dive; loads of nudibranch and flatworms.
Monday
Climbing
I have a competition on Saturday; this was practice. It was good; I got four v4s including a monkey-bar style overhang that was really good fun.

@nossmf -- Different gym but same experience ("who ARE all these people?" kept going through my mind). My gym closed at 2 today, so that was an additional factor.
Cardio- I got in a 30 min treadmill run at 5.2 with one sprint of 6.3 mph. Incline walking for 10 min at 4-5%, then a 3.2 mph pace at 1% for another 10 min.
Strength /calisthenics - 25 min with 2 sets biceps curls and lat raises, foam rolling in between, three sets walking lunges and various stretches.

Cardio: 44 minutes stationary bike, almost 10 miles, with 2 minutes on the Helix to warm up. Every mile I try to peddle standing for 10-15 seconds, and when I do I'm starting to see muscle separation just above my knees. Who knew you could make new gains at 49 yo???
Then strength: 2 sets skullcrushers, 2 sets 60 sec planks, 2 sets bird dogs, 1 set walking lunges, 1 set heel lifted squats.

Hack Squat 3x10
Machine Hip Thrust 3x10
Seated Calf Raises 2x10, 2x20
Leg Extensions 2x12

Cable Side Crunches 2x10 «superset» Side Plank 2x30sI've been doing leg day on Saturday for months now, almost a year actually, with the day after spent in leisure around the house. Doing it today on a Wednesday, followed by a full day of work, is odd to say the least. Will have to make it a point to walk around the office more between meetings, prevent my legs from stiffening up.

I wanted to get in some run miles but the storms and rain said otherwise. So today's workout is going to be a cardio day. Elliptical, stationary bike, stretching and foam rolling.

Climbing, 2.5 hours.
I started really badly. There was a V3 slab that took 45 minutes, but I eventually got it. (The crux was a reverse flag letting me reach a small crimp.) After that, it was a pretty good session with a couple of v4s.

Basically a "rest from cardio" day for me, possibly one of many to come. My rectus femoris (upper quad) muscle is hurting and typically, I've started trying to address the issue a week later than I should have. Driving my kids around town with an ice pack held tightly to my leg. Geez.
Exercise: 25 minutes gardening, 10 minutes walking the dog (that hurt), 16 minutes strength training with free weights, sit-ups, definitely no squats!

I haven't reported in a while.
M 5/26, W 5/28, F 5/30: Rowed the usual near-7k, in the quad each time, engine room twice, bow once. Varied intensities, mostly split between zone 2 and 3.
Th 5/29: Hour of stationary bike, 60' + 3' CD, 107W average, supposedly 16.6 miles at 15.8 mph. About a quarter of the time zone 4, over half zone 3, remainder below.
This was the last week of evening open rowing until July, but I'll be assisting the learn-to-row coach 4 evenings a week in June, with probably some rowing myself, and lots of boat carrying and other support work.

Plan for today is day 2 of my run weekend. Another 6 miles.
