Almost done in England...
May. 10th, 2012 11:19 pmI'm on my last evening here...
The rental car has continued to be acceptable. Did a longer drive to & from a climbing gym in Guildford (about 40 miles each way, I think), and got to play a bit more on some curvier roads, and of course, a lot more round-a-bouts. :)
Climbing was good, grades at the gym seemed pretty consistent (given translation) with Coyote -- I was consistently sending 6a+ (5.10b) and falling off 6b (5.10c).
Training has gone well, they are a good bunch, and we've done the 3.5 days of material in 3 days -- so I'm figuring out an extra 1/2 day of stuff for tomorrow. That's quite doable, I've got lots of material.
I had a pretty good curry last night, but have had "quick" food tonight and Tuesday because of hitting a climbing gym both nights (bouldering at the Reading one Tuesday, climbing with some of Phil's friends on Thursday).
I'm looking to get out on some rock this weekend, too, before shipping off to KW Sunday evening. Yes, that's a very short weekend in Ottawa!
