Not too embarrassing a showing at the comp, i reckon. i beat out many, many prepubescents. It reiterated for me that if i were to lose 20lbs or so, i'd be rocking the comps. But that's neither here nor there. It was a pretty fine workout. Ended up climbing around 23 problems--not counting a bunch that i got reeeeeally close on but didn't finish. By the end i was falling off of huge stuff; fingers were opening up on everything. That made for a good workout. It's been a long while since i've pushed 'er that hard.
One of the big problems, as always at those things, was the sheer number of people. Several occasions i ended up walking away disgusted from problems i should've gotten 'cuz there were numbskulls walking through m' LZ. Then maybe halfway through i was working a roof problem, and i heelhooked on my index finger. Didn't really hurt, but i couldn't yank m' finger out. Dropped off the problem, and i'd nearly ripped the nail off with blood dripping out. That smarted a li'l. But i'm sure i'm more of a man now.
Ah well: i've got a bunch of new projects that'll go soon. Good times.
Saturday Tack-on
Went to the pool for a swim today, but it was crazy with kids, so i refrained. Instead i went for an hour and fifteen mins run. That makes 3hrs for this week. i'm pretty happy 'bout that. It's starting to feel a little easier. i'm still jonesing to walk the catwalk all glossy wet in a Speedo.

Very inspiring. I don't think I'll be getting in a speedo anytime soon myself.
i can hardly see why not. No better way to loosen up those lats 'n' shoulders. Strap one on, baby!
Gross. Ahhh! Mommy! There's a walrus in the pool!
