Pushing my body with my mental at Climbasia

Update on Saturday, 30/12/2006

Basically...
This day... had a lot of plans...
Not my plans...
Juz some tings which i had to choose to do...

Basically...
Meet up with my fwens as i usually do...
Cuz one of them books out on Friday...
So spend time with him...

Next one was to meet up with arnab...
Catch up on times...
Yupz...
But... Couldn't...
Cuz the next ting pop up...
Which was...

Going climbing with my sis and faizal they all...
Cuz my sis will be going on a course soon...
So she can't climb that often soon...
So she wanted me to climb also...
As company...
Lolx...

Hmm... Next would be to meet Burn( my fwen's nick who's actually Azmi)
He's my ying... or the darkside... I'm the yang... lolx...
Nyway... supposed to go to this open house...
I think it's the Tuas SCDF??
Cuz he's thinking of signing on with the SCDF...

But that plan cancelled...
Cuz Wan not around...
So ya...

So... in the end...
I had to go climb...

But actually i thought of meeting arnab before goin...
But i end up woking up late...
Diaowz..
Paiseh...

So i ended up goin climbing at climbasia...
Well... not climbing...
the correct term would be bouldering...

Supposed to go out at 3...
But i was so engrossed with playing my xbox game...
Till i didn't realize the time... diaowz...
So ended up leaving later...

Arriving at climbasia...
I realized i had $50+? in my membership card??
Hmm... tink cuz long time nvr go...
All the credit got from competitions...
Not mine alone...
Some ppl win... they dun want...
so they pass me...
=)
heehee...

Nywayz...
Starting warm-up route was ok...
But the routes after that...
totally sick...
For some reason i feel real shack...
When i climb...
My whole body's shivering...

The second route...
Aiyo...
I know i can finish the route...
but for some reason...
By the time i get the tile at one of the crux...
I seem to be real shack...
Haiz...

Because of that route...
My left pinky finger bled...
Must be because of the pincher lar...
Haiyos...
Yesterday my right index finger bled cuz of a crimper...
And now...
Haiz...

Then somemore... my shoulders felt like they had ice on them...
Got this tingling feeling...
Last time i had it on my elbows...
Then now my shoulders??

I think climbing six days straight...
Is really taking its toll on me...

But i still continued lar...
Dun want to waste my time and money u know...
heehee...

The routes after that were no different...
For some reason...
My whole body shivers when i boulder...
Can't control my body much as they shiver...
Haiyos...
Diaow...

In the end...
I had to keep taking "breaks" in between...
To let myself recover...
Lolx..
Take in some NOS!

I finally managed to start finishing routes at 8+...
Imagine the torture...
Not finishing any routes except the warm-up route...
since arriving at 4 or 5+??

Haiyos...
But i tink that...
I managed to finish the route...
only when... i dunno how or why...
only when i feel my body has recovered a bit...

Hmm...
I mean..
When i arrive...
isn't that supposed to be when i'm fresh and all...
But for some reason...
I start finishing the routes only at 8+...
Lolx...

Well...
I dunno where that energy came from...
Although i've been fighting to finish the route since the start...
I've only managed to finish them at that time...
And what's more...
I'm supposed to feel worn-out at this time...
Diaowz...

Guess it must be someting to do with mentality and all...
Haha...
Before finishing Thomas's route...
Which was the route i kept trying on after not being able to complete the second route...
I thought of my msn nick...
And felt that...
That was how i'm supposed to climb...

And seriously...
My body was really shacked and weary...
Dun know why...
But somehow... I kept pushing myself with my mind...
I really wanted to finish Thomas's route...

And i eventually did...
Faizal gave me a key word...
Lolx...
It was to stand up to get to the finishing tile...
Diaow...

Well...
After that...
It seemed to me that my body got a boost of morale...
And i started to finish up unfinished businesses!!

The last route i finally went to try to finish....
Was the second route of the day...
Haha...
All the way...
I still haven't finish it...

U know what??
Compared to trying in the afternoon earlier...
I felt more energized at 8+ when i tried to finish it...
Lolx...

I managed to get thrugh the crux...
And went for the last tile..
On the roof...
And diaow...
I managed to grab the last tile..
Which was like a horn with my right hand...
But my left hand slipped from the previous tile...
And i was sent flying...
due to the "bandor" (dunno if it's spelt this way)
And i almost landed on melissa...
Luckily she managed to roll away in time...
She rolled all the way until she was under the mini roof...

Phew... glad that she wasn't hurt...
But haiz...
I seriously wanted to finish the route...
Aiyo...

Tried again after that...
But felt different...
So i got down...
Haiz...
One unfinished business...

Damn!

Haiz...
But before i climbed the second route...
The time when i got to touch the last tile...
I reminded myself of what Chris Sharma said...
Or i tink he said something like this..
I told myself that i can't want to finish the route too much...
And i can't want too little...
Cuz if i do either way...
Something is sure to cock-up...

Cuz if i want it too much...
I'll get too obsessed...
And if i want too little...
Then i won't have the drive needed to finish it...

So when i didn't manage to do it the second time after i fall...
I walked away...
Cuz i dun want to get too obsessed with it...
Anyway...
I've gained a few things today...

Well...
My body was the one that managed to gain...
One thing good was that i managed to experince a different style of route...
Which was my intention before i came to climbasia...

Anyway... think i managed to finish up to four routes today??
The first is the warm-up route...
Second is Thomas's route...
Third... is my own route...
Which not many mangaed to finish cuz of weariness...
I can only recall me and my sis finishing it...
Fourth is Burn's route...
Fifth is Faizal's route...

Oops... it's five...
I thought only four...
Well each route was unique in their own ways...
I love them all!!
Today was really fun and great!
Enjoyed today's boulder...

Unfinished business i want to complete: 1!

But i love this route too...
Heehee...
It's uniqueness and how i kept on fighting to try to finish it...
Lolx...

Overall...
I think i did well today...
Not getting completely de-moralized when i couldn't finish the routes in the beginning...
And how i kept on fighting to finish the routes...

Argh...
Problems count so far
So so far...
Shoulders now ache...
During climbing shoulders were tingling...
Left pinky finger bled...
Right index finger bled yesterday...
The gap between the nail and the skin...
Not fully closed...
My knees shivers when i climb...
Hard to control body when i climb due to weariness...
Ankles are potentially experiencing problems...
Right elbow problem when reaching a certain number of push-up...
Left shoulder experiencing problem due to incident from the past...
Now it's weaker...

Haiz...
But overall...
Dun think they're that major when i truly look at it...
Especially compared to injuries from other climbers...

Haiz...
Actually...
Kinda proud and happy with my performance today...
Especially since i've been climbing six days straight...

Well till here then...
Got to wake up early later...
Pray cuz of Hari Raya Haji...
Oh ya...
Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all Muslims...
And a Happy New Year to everyone!!
Enjoys!!
Sayonara!
