It’s been a half week since I was able to get a climbing session in. I flew back from a bachelor party this weekend so was feeling pretty low energy.

Today was a rough return, with a number of V5 failures. I get the sense it’s generally tougher for me to get in the right mindset for climbing on Mondays. Anyways, here are the stats for today:

Warmup	15 pull-ups
Training
Grade	Outcome	Points
V0		0
V1	✓	1
V2	✓✓	4
V3	✓✓✓✓✓	15
V4	✓✓×××	11
V5	××××××	6
V6		0
	TOTAL	37
Cooldown	10 pull-ups 20 pushups 20 squats 50 abs
Recap	10 sends, 9 failures

2018 YTD

263 sends (+10)
96 failures (+9)
490 pull-ups (+25)
205 pushups (+20)
157 biceps
22 triceps
