Were you the Chris that Matt tried to kill knocking a block off Appetite at the end of the day ?

Re: work/life balance stuff discussed last week, for what its worth, I work full time and am also a single parent of two 100% of the timeFor the last two months or so I've 'trained' minimum of three and often four or five times a week, with some loosely structured phases. This is serious as I've ever got (in my prime I just climbed fuck loads) but the last two weeks have been very frustrating, having gone drastically backwards on my board. Opinions would be valued. Am I just jaded with the board? Do I need a 'proper' rest? Basically planning to do almost nothing next week (probably outside Tues) as I fly to the states for work/climbing next Sun.
Was worth it as redpointed Cider Soak today.
Walked around IKEA, wanting to kill stupid people.
Glad to be the voice of paranoia on your shoulder.
I prescribe exercise rather than actually killing stupid people (unless you are sure that you can get away with it).

I was hoping the text was enough to portray the sarcasm without recourse to smileys, but how about thisDo enough training to make Three Nine proud of me and make him think that I'm a real climber who only cares about climbing and has nothing else interesting going on in his life that might get in the way of climbing and that I strive to try my hardest at all times to be the best possible climber I can be LOLZ OMG What did you do at the cliff?

I think it's almost inevitable you are going to have a dip (or minor injury) after 3-4 months. As this is your first time working intensive on a board, you are no longer 21, and you have all this other stuff going on the dip is going to be severe. Have a proper rest and a great trip.See posts from sausage and simon here
