The Electric Campus Board

Its been six years since I’ve trained regularly on my campus board. A combination of factors such as too little time, motivation, good weather and winter light has meant I’ve never really rekindled my old form. On Saturday I finally decided to do something about it and set up some external lights for the campus board. For as little as £11.70 and an hours work I can now use my campus board through the winter months. The results were staggering, but sadly my performance was poor.

Campus boarding outside at 10pm in late October.

My week off after Suirana, liberal diet and poor exercise left me feeling very fat in the ass. After warming up I struggled up 2-4-5 and took several goes to manage single 1-4-6’s and 2-4-7’s. My shoulders ached instantly requiring constant massage to keep cramp at bay. Performing set’s of 1-4-7’s as scribbled in my old log seem a long way away, however I’m sure I can reach this level again within the next couple of months. Surely an advantage of being so weak is that improvement is guaranteed. To map my progress I’ve created a new campus board log.
