Through The Barrier

I've been back bouldering now for three and a bit weeks. It hasn't been easy, I've nearly sacked it off a few times, but I feel like I've now made a break through. Up until yesterday things have constantly felt hard, my body has been slack and I've been struggling on anything longer than 4 moves. Yesterday I hit the wall after a weekend of overnights. Exhausted, I expected there to be nothing in the tank, but things started to happen.

Shock, horror, the flow felt like it was coming back.

With relative ease I set about cruising eliminates on the latest set of problems. A smile spread across my face, it's coming back. I knew this was the feeling I had been missing over the months I had taken off, the feeling of floating through moves. I'm still way over weight and there is no doubt about it. But the weight will fall off in time, what matters is that I'm back on a roll.

I'm back on it.
