Heading Back to the Top

This weekend was quite an adventure. Friday I climbed for about an hour to work on technique drills to get back in the swing of things. Then to relax for a little bit I went to the hot tub. After that I helped work open climb and teen night. Saturday, I could not wait to go to Adventure Rock!! I worked open climb and then headed up to Adventure Rock to get my new climbing shoes that came in. I was super pumped to finally climb in them for a whole day of climbing. I got the La Sportiva Women Muira VS' and I am really happy I got that shoe. It is really nice and a major upgrade for me. Saturday for climbing actually was alot better than I had excepted with my back still really tight. I was able to climb a 5.10 top rope like nothing had happened the week before. I had a really awesome day climbing. Sunday was fun. In the morning I helped my parents move some things around the house. At work we had a Girl Scout Merit Badge for Rock Climbing which was alot of fun! We had open climb which was really busy for a Sunday. After open climb we had league was fun because  got work with a kid that new to how league was ran. I did a bunch of easier routes to show how some things work that you wouldn't normally think would work. Monday I had school which was really fun. In my engineering class we went to launch model rockets. We learned how launching mechanism were set up/assembled. In my machining class we are designing clocks that we are going to create. We start building our clock Wednesday. Our climbing team is having a climb-a-thon to help us raise money to help pay for regional and national registration fees. All of the photos from last weekend and this weekend are posted both on Facebook and Flickr. Check them out there are alot of really cool shots.

Split Second Change

This weekend was really interesting. Friday I had school, a plyometric work out and then had to go babysit til midnight. Baby sitting was fun cause we tried to play mouse trap but the dog kept on stepping all over the game board. Saturday we took down an antenna off my buddies roof. After that I had to work until 4pm after work we up to Adventure Rock. While we were there I was having a really good day climbing. I was able to finish two routes that i have been having a lot of trouble with lately. I got both of them in only one fall. Nearing the end of my climbing I fell and got a back injury. Sunday i got to sleep in until 10am. Once I got up I had about an hour stretching session. Sunday my back was really tight when I was sitting or leaning against like a pole. I attempted to climb Sunday just to see how my body was feeling. I ending up doing about 15 climbs that slowly got a little harder. I worked up to about a 5.10 and i felt like nothing ever happened the day before. Monday was school and work. At school we are finishing up a project that we have sent about 4 weeks of class time on. We had climbing classes at the Y that lasted to about 8pm. After classes I had another hour for stretching. My back is feeling better than it did Sunday but my neck started to bug me a little.

This is the Way to Go

Super awesome weekend!! Friday I had one final to take than I got to go home and help a buddy fix a truck. It took us about an hour to find one part that took only 2 minutes to replace. I had to do a work out in plyometrics. It was fun but it was really hard to do. After that I worked open climb at the YMCA and then teen night. Nearing the end of teen night everyone went and played basketball. Saturday was cool. Worked from 10am to 3pm for open climb and parties. After work we headed up to Adventure Rock where we climbed for the next 6 hours.While we were there i attempted three 5.11 lead. One I got two holds from the top; the other two I got alittle bit above halfway.When we got back from Adventure Rock we watched Cars 2 which was really cool even though i kinda feel asleep more towards the end of the movie. Sunday was tough. I had a hangboard work out that lasted about 10 mins. After that my older brother and his new fiance had to leave to go to pensacola. At 11 I had a lifting program that was hard then I had a climbing program. When we got back from the Y we got to see all of the pictures that my mom took while she was in China. I also just ordered a new pair of climbing shoes. I got the Women Miura VS through Adventure Rock. Im hoping that I will be able to wear them when I go up ro Adventure this coming Saturday. Im really excited to climb in them when they come in.

Four day weekend!!!!

I had a four day weekend. Thrusday and Friday I didn't have school so i went over to a buddies house and help move funiture around. Friday during open climb i got to teach a couple of people how to belay. It was alot of fun because they really picked up quick. We had worked on that for about an hour on working on how to belay and get the technique down. Saturday was alot of fun because I worked in the morning at the y for open climb. After work the team headed up to Adventure Rock to get some good training in for the day!!! It was a lot of fun because i get to try a 5.11 lead which i was really close to the top. Im really happy with how Saturday went for climbing. Sunday was cool because I had a work out and then worked open climb. After work I got to go out at trick or treat which was fun because I got to see alot of old friend I haven't seen in a while. Monday was fun. Science we watched a movie on cancer which was really interesting. In my engineering class we are building a Rude Goldberg machine. This class is my favorite I'm gonna be upset when the semester ends. Block three we are in electronics. We get to learn how we set up and draw semantics. After school I had to finish a bunch of reviews for finals this week. After that I worked at the y for climbing class. I also signed up for the president challenge. Im going for the platinum , I have to get a million points in a year. Everything active that you do you get points for. I'm at 5000 points in just two days.
