Clomb again today. Wasn't precisely inspiring, but it was way better than the last few times out. Before i hurt this finger, i was regularly flashing v3. Now i just can't seem to get back to strength. But today i was moderately strong. Hit a bunch of 2 and then strung three v3s in a row, although i'd already done 'em all. i think part of it is i'm hitting a mental block. i haven't felt 100% for a long while now, and i think i go in expecting not to feel strong. i think taking a coupl'a weeks off for travelling and then getting back in the regular gym some will be huge. i'm trying to learn more about periodizing and just how much rest i actually need. Never have been very good at that. Taking my big, chunky butt climbing at project intensity as often as Fred Nicole does just sho' ain't working for me.
