Our local gym has a bouldering competition every year. It is a series of three comps and you add the top five scores from each comp. It is fun to work the problems, but what was really impressive was that Sara was second in her group. I did okay, but the boys are very hard to compete against. Most of them are much stronger climbers than myself. And I don't work the short hard problems as much as the roped climbing. Sara's group was very strong too, giving the guys a good run for it.
I was really proud that I managed to work out one particular problem. I have gotten much stronger and so for me to stick to the problem until I figured out the moves was kind of a big deal. I'm working on being more patient on my climb and not just lunging for something I know I cannot stick.
Sara had to leave the final comp early for a fancy dinner, but even with climbing just to get her points she still managed to whoop me. I was just excited to win a door prize. We both won small prizes in the raffle -- I got a huge t-shirt, and Sara got a mug that she can put her coffee in on the go. I never win door prizes so even a t-shirt was pretty cool.
Now for a rest day.
