Hard

I've learned a really good lesson yesterday. Top-rope climbing doesn't mean it's easier!!! Yesterday Ser and I had a good hard climbing session at CA where we whacked 5c to 6c routes. We lost count of the number of routes, but I'm guessing we could have completed nearly 10 routes. Totally draining towards the end that I couldn't even push myself to do endurance training. And I got myself a nice flapper on the right hand and a weird internally bruised blister on the left. Cuts all over my hands which I have no idea where I'd gotten them from either. When you're in survival mode nothing really matters eh. Those 6b and 6c routes we did almost killed me. I came down pumped and sweat shone in the light. Top-rope allows me to try moves I never thought I could ever do. It's really nice to take a break from different styles of training.

The one that I don't really enjoy is bouldering. But it's also the one that's gonna be a major factor for getting into NUS climb team. :( Why isn't there more competitions for high wall lovers like me?? Instead of monster boulder comps that make women look like men from those highly intensive trainings.

Less than 2 weeks to Krabi! Super excited and pumped up to crank on those real rocks and to have the waves crashing in the background. And no... it's not just a dream.

It's a dream coming alive. Really blessed to have all these opportunities in my life.
