$30 for 8hrs course for belaying and climbing

today at srjc

im certified lvl 1!

well nth much really

i felt that belaying was more fun than climbing...cos...er...no particular reason why

first is some theory as usual, introduce all the equipment

then started to practice abit

then had lunch

after lunch we started to practice by ourselves

the coach offered to treat us to Swensens if anyone could complete the wall on the left side de

alot of ppl tried

but all cmi

anyway later was practical test

me and yen took turns to belay and climb and we completed the test in <5mins

-_-"

anyway later we took back the test criteria thingy...

got 7 immediate failure

15 major faults

5 minor faults

if u commit one immediate failure you "pack up and go home"

then on the paper it also says cannot commit more than 3 major fault or 6 minor fault to pass

anyway at first my paper was clean de...

but later i found up the coach wrote an extra remark under 'minor fault'

"Slow in figuring out how to tie-in"

Kaoz.

Then a few ppl got 'clean sheet'...nv make any mistake...zhuai lo.

Immediately after the course we receive a 'cert'...

which was the size of a name-card

o.o

...

...

after alot of confusion which i successfully stayed away from, I somehow still found myself in a team for the NVM (national vertical marathon) although I initially thought I would be spending my day sleeping at home on 13th march

climbing stairs is always...the heart is willing but the legs are cmi.

at some point in time yur legs will turn soft like jelly - something that has troubled yen for the past few days as we all want to know the solution for this

he consulted our sports climb coach today who managed to complete 45 floors in 4+mins, and his response is that we need XXXXXL leg muscles and the ability to sustain a high (190-200 per min) heart rate.

kaoz. the last time i did circuit training, mine was only 160 - wouldn't it be tough to achieve 190, let alone sustaining it sia.

oh ya i also wanted to mention that while I was laying down on the floor looking up at the sky this afternoon, I realised that the clouds looked like very big candy floss

i tink nth else liao

bai~
