Blue - Splits

Practiced running long legs at Prince William Forest, and took all the roads and large trails off the map. It was really hot and humid, but thankfully the rain held out until after I left.

Definitely could have done a better job on this. I did a pretty good job navigating, but I had to stop myself a couple times and actually plan a route as I was leaving a control.

And we're backing business! Last time I went I had a lot of trouble and kept falling off of routes, because my strength and endurance are completely shot from 3 weeks of not climbing. Today though I got almost all the V3-V5s that I couldn't get last time, and that felt really good.

One of the staff was also nice enough to belay me up a 5.10b lead route, which I was able to finish without an issue.

Feels good to be back so quickly. I was worried I'd be spending weeks until I built back up. I definitely still have work to do, but I'm on the right track.

2'00, 2'30, 3'00, 3'30, 4'00, 4'30, 4'00, 3'30, 3'00, 2'30, 2'00 with 1'30 rest and 5'00 after the top of the pyramid

Got a membership at the climbing gym right next to where I work! The bouldering cave is really small so I'm going to have to be really friendly to find some ropes partners over the next few weeks.

I was having a lot of trouble with a lot of the routes, I must have lost a lot of grip strength and endurance in the last few weeks because I would just fall off routes that I definitely should have been able to do. It'll come back, but I have a lot of work to do.
