It has been a long week working, schooling, and prepping for this competition. Foreran climbs on Tuesday and am doing the same today and tomorrow. Forerunning the pro qualifier and finals climbs so I am letting my body rest by not doing any extra training. I also have a TON of homework.
Found out that I have a lot of power in my climbing, more than the majority of women. Feel pretty proud of that. I am enjoying being able to finally climb hard and be respected after almost 3 years of health issues holding me back. A lot of people in the community saw me climbing on Tuesday and it has made many people aware that I am "back in the game" so to speak. Have been in touch with my sponsors and others, communicating deals for the upcoming season.
Feeling odd about being the small fish. I am used to an environment where I am one of the best. It makes it more difficult when I am consistently the big fish in my workplace, but not during training. Ran into the same uncomfortable feeling during my internship but was able to overcome it and become a "bigger" fish. Just hoping that some consistency in my schedule will help me feel as if I have my head above water.
I feel as if I need to make it clear that I want both crossfit and climbing, equally. Also one cannot exist without the other. I love climbing to death, but the amount of power that I put out on the wall crushes my body. I need crossfit to balance the parts that are not. I also love the variety of crossfit and the competitive spirit that I am consistently a part of. It keeps me feeling like a competitor and relieves my stress when climbing does not. It also constantly keeps me learning and crushing any ego I may have. In order to learn more I need to bring the ego down and listen. So even though I have a lot of commitments, I am psyched to train for both.
