Another long hiatus. Another apology for being a lame blogger.
Fortunately, not a whole lot has been missed… well, sort of. Here’s a rundown of what’s happened since the last post:
- Started doing yoga, and absolutely love it
- Climbed a lot, and trained a lot… for climbing
- Sent a few V5s and a bunch of V4s
- Climbed at Hueco Tanks… twice!
- Climbed at Horse Pens 40
- Pull-up count is steady at 12-14
- Got engaged!
Here’s a photo from Hueco Trip #1, on No One Gets Out of Here Alive. It took some time for me to get the beta down before sending it. The past Hueco Trip #2, I…
Its been awhile, so a few recaps:
New gig: a couple of weeks ago I started a new job as an Interface Engineer for Involver, a small a start-up based out of San Francisco. I’ll miss my colleagues at Pluck / Demand Media, but it was an exciting opportunity I couldn’t miss!
ACL: Made a last-minute decision to attend ACL 2010. Overall it was a very enjoyable and relaxing ACL (by choice). It was great to hang out with Nat and Allen before they headed out to Europe. Highlight? Muse on Saturday night, by far. Deadmau5 was pretty sweet, too, mostly because…
This past weekend was South Regionals, and the last tournament of the year for my team, Beta Iota Delta. It was great to play teams we had never played before from all over the region, mixed in with some ultimate drama that, to put it bluntly, involved a team (that might be called Codename) having to cheat to beat us (i.e. thanks to a few major douchebags). All in all we finished 9th overall, which is considerably better than the original 14th that we were seeded going in, and more importantly, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Best of luck to Jackie,…
Sectionals was this past weekend, and it was brutal. Seven games over two grueling days of super humidity and heat do not make for the most pleasant ultimate experience. But it was a super fun weekend nonetheless, filled with aimless driving around Dallas trying to find Whole Foods and Central Markets and football watching. Most importantly, BID finished 7th and advanced to Regionals, which will be in Austin in two weeks! We are all super excited to have the opportunity to play with each other for two more weeks and one more tournament.
Yesterday I took a break from cardio and…
So it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve really been climbing. We’ve gone to Marisa’s wall a few times which has painfully reminded us that gym holds are not going to be the same as outdoor holds. But with the trip home to Virginia, the copious amounts of rain that fell in Austin, and the crazy thick humidity that followed, climbing outside has not been at the top of our list.
The plan, climbing-wise, is this Friday we’ll be joining ARG for one more month. We’re hoping to get to Hueco and also hit up the more local places like…
Yesterday I made a sort-of impromptu trip to the climbing gym. We had gone on Friday, which was our planned last day at ARG for awhile as we’ll be heading to Virginia this weekend. However, at the very end of the session (i.e. right before we had to leave) I found this very cool V4+ overhanging problem in the cave that I managed to play on for two minutes, which was apparently enough to get me so excited about it that I couldn’t stop thinking about it and had to go back. Plus, all the cave problems at the south…
