Trade Show Comp

The big comp just ended...

Citizens comp to come...

Qualifiers was awesome! I climbed really strong and the problems were really awesome...

Favorite problem: #5 even though i didn't complete it, it was really awesome, i enjoyed all the big moves to good holds... the double heel hooks made it a great problem!

Least Favorite problem: #4 maybe if i would have figured out the campus beta i would have liked it more... instead i kept trying to swing my foot to the shitty jib out right...

Finals... there were a few issues... but still a lot of fun! first off, jimmy and i didn't know that we had to be in iso at 5pm, instead we showed up at 6:20pm, an hour before i climb... that's when they told me the limo i was going to be taking left at 6:45pm... i didn't end up having enough time to warm up and that hurt me on the 4 finals problems!

Favorite problem: #2 i didn't sent it either, which was definitely frustrating but it was really fun... every move was the same difficulty and overall it was a very southern type of problem...

Least Favorite problem: #3 the first move was really hard, the second move was really hard... the third was impossible... if there were more feet i think that it would have been a lot better problem...

When i finished climbing my fourth problem i pretty much had a heat stroke...

it was awful...

i couldn't breath normally...

i started crying out of no where because i couldn't take a regular breath...

i got taken to the first aid tent where they cooled my body temperature off...

i asked the doctors what my regular heart rate should be and they said 60...

mine was 150 when they checked it...

I think that there should be one modification to the competition...

the girls should climb when its cooler...

maybe start the comp at 7:30pm or 8:00pm...

maybe the comp would last longer, but i think it would be great! Overall the route setters did a good job...

there was a lot of energy...

good mix of music...

great holds...

can't wait for next year!!

i'll be training to be stronger!

and hopefully i'll be able to do an awkward dyno next time...
