Training and Fun

The last three weeks have been relatively uneventful, but fun at the same time. I have spent a few days at Chosspile, a few days at Wigwam and a few days at the Barn. Here are the specifics.

After coming back from Blouberg, I was broken. I had to take a few days off. But then I got back into training in style! I started off on the Wednesday by running for 40 minutes. I was very tired though and ended up jogging and walking for the most of it. After this I was off to the Barn for some campusing with Paul. We hit his wall hard!

After this exhaustion set in.


We hit Chosspile on the Saturday, worked Anduril, did halfling, did Gollum, did Morn Not Over Much. Good for training.


We went back to Chosspile a few times with the same results: irritation and complains about the heat and sweaty rock.


As a result, I spent a week doing other things: Tuesday I found myself at eZemvelo working a project of mine. I'm convinced it will be 8A+, it's pretty sick. It's also a bit of a dabfest so it takes a lot of patience. Thursday Alex and I went through to Wigwam! Good fun. I tried out the Beast Mode (29/30?) project and figured out all the moves. Did a few laps on Last of the Mohicans (30) too. Finally on Sunday, we headed back out there with Paul and a bunch of guys from the Barn. It was great. I almost sent Beast Mode, fell off the final move a few times. I did redpoint Tomahawk, yet again but it was still fun.

Monday: did some more campus training.

After that, my skin told me that Wigwam yesterday and campusing today is no longer an option...
