In reply to J Whittaker:
1 Better work-life balance. Last year I didn't climb for eleven and a half months because of work, so I am determined to ensure I get out on the rocks every week. Climbed yesterday in the rain and have been out several times in December, so the omens are good
Did pretty well with this until a bad spell of weather coinciding with loads of work slowed it up a bit. However, pretty pleased at regular climbing.
2 Lose six kilos over the next three months
Did lose the weight until a long spell of staying in hotels, work and driving meant I put some back on over the winter.
3 Work at some sport climbing as a way of improving general levels of fitness. Never taken it seriously, so onsighting 7a would be reasonable and perhaps work something, though the idea is a bit counter to the way I play at climbing
Didn't 'work' anything, but did mix in sport climbing through the year with decent results.
4 Build some power. That's the bit that has really fallen off as I have aged.
Felt stronger, but I haven't tested this really.
5 Get about a bit with my midweek buddies. Plenty of stuff to do all over the country. Complete some E2s and E3s that I haven't got on before.
Done a few things to keep inspiration going. Still didn't get out of the Peak enough because of work, but happy to get a solid year in with some good and unfamiliar stuff done.
On the original thread I added some training goals. Did achieve 100 pull ups (and push ups and sit ups) a day mid-year, but work interfered as I was beginning to step the set length up. Just started back and am noticing the additional kg is making them tough, but looking forwards to working hard through January.
