Sunday bouldering

[sawyl]

Despite not feeling at my best — a combination of blisters, a bruised toenail, and a very slight cold that has been nagging at my since Friday — I managed to drag my lazy self down to the quay for another bout of bouldering. Rather to my surprise, I actually found myself on quite good form: I completed four new problems, including one I'd assumed was well beyond me, bringing my total up to something like 9–10 of the ones set for last weekend's competition. I then switched to practice mode, trying out knee drops and balance exercises on one of the easier overhung routes with occasional attempts at the remaining problems until tiredness set in and I went home.

Now I feel positively virtuous — although I suspect I'm going to suffer tomorrow — and, strangely, my cold seems to have vanished as abruptly as it arrived...
