climbing in chattanooga...
did some sport climbing today...
1) warm up climb (slab/vert climbing, really fun movement)
2) Silence (12b) - i went up bolt to bolt pretty much which allowed me to figure out the sequence, i felt as if i could do it next time... i would have gotten back on it but it made my leg hurt - i guess the leg is not back to FULL FUNCTION yet... next time
3) the cool down - witches brew - CLASSIC
and now for some homework

Last few days...
1) i finished my first week of summer school - it isn't as bad as i thought it would be... lots of work, but you get it done with in a month... i have a test in both classes on wednesday so i'll be study for that tomorrow night and the next few days...
2) rocktown was not as successful as i wanted it to be - i didn't send my project... i need to get stronger on crimps, even though i thought i was strong enough to do my project... maybe if there is a colder evening, i might be heading out there for another effort at my project...
3) i climbed on a rope for the first time in a LONG TIME today - lee (and hazard) and i (and oreo) headed out to the canyon today... we left chattanooga at noon and got to the parking lot of team suba at around 3:30pm (we got lost a few times)... we were going to meet up with mark and phil (who were at Team Suba)... but unfortunately that approach is not dog friendly... we ended up at the concave where there were at least 6 dogs...
(a) did the warm up twice
(b) climbed the 12b a few routes to the right of the warm up - it had a really hard crux
(c) got on showboaters - really fun climb, i really enjoyed all of the moves... i think i can do it, the only thing that is holding me back is my left knee... i still can't heel hook very well... therefore the big move out of the roof on showboaters is a no go for now... but i did do all the other moves, and i can't wait to get back on it again w/ a healthier knee...
4) tomorrow i will be going out route climbing again and i might stop at TBA to take down the wave wall... it's time to re-set that wall!

School and Training
I start summer school tomorrow...
taking two classes
world civilizations II @ 8am
economics @ 9:50am
I get out of class at 11:30am everyday...
I don't work on Tuesday and Thursday during the month of may...
I'll still be at the gym to train the "TBA Ballers"
But I will still be able to climb outside some
I think i'm heading to rocktown on Thursday after class...
I have some unfinished business there...
hopefully it will go down!
Otherwise, i trained today at the gym...
and trained a few others while training myself...
did some finger workouts, core and lock offs...
the main things that i need to work on...
we will see tomorrow if i'm sore from the work out or not!
i'm also going to start jump roping...
i read that if you jump rope for 10 minutes a day 3 to 4 times a week,
it will help you lose weight in your thighs/legs...
so i'm psyched on that!
i got a jump rope the other day...
i forgot to bring it to the gym, i'll get that into the gym tomorrow!
i've brought a few new things to the gym...
- a metolius hang board...
- an ab roller machine (not the ab roller it self, its a easier version of it - it's been laying under my bed for a while and not being used, so i figured i might as well take it to the gym and i'll use it there as well as others)
- stretch bands (two different types)
- forearm roller balls
I'm also going to be trying to swim 2 to 3 times a week and do yoga 2 to 3 times a week...
i haven't figured out a specific schedule, but i'm working on that...
