Thanks to the advice I got on the NNFN thread I got a letter this morning from Sheffield Hallam inviting me for an interview in March.

nice one seb, might see you there next year

Just sold our house! Only put it on in december. Better schools for kids, better area coming up - ended up with a bit of equity left too - obviously not enough for a deposit, but a years renting will give us enough time.

fatdoc · January 25, 2012, 10:24:22 pm

minor again... 6 weeks in... no A2 issues - for the first time in 4 years of startin a board training regime ...

after a warm up i did not fall on my 8 warm up / do easy problems....

first time... for a long time.. I can move on...

I'm cautious... and rather excited.

SA Chris · January 26, 2012, 08:39:59 am

Nice one, just don't go mad now. Any training feels to me like building a house of cards these days.

fatdoc · January 27, 2012, 09:58:27 pm

I hear you.

Palomides · January 29, 2012, 09:54:14 am

I won a climbing competition. This may never happen again.

Wou-hou !!!!!!!!!!

Nibile · January 30, 2012, 09:19:39 am

champ!!! how does it feel ? never happened to me!!!

anyway yesterday I got to the association's wall and the secretary told me: "Lorenzo, do you remember the courses you taught in November and December? I have to pay you 300 Euros for those."

fuck yea.

SA Chris · January 30, 2012, 11:48:27 am

UK trip fund!

Palomides · January 30, 2012, 01:01:05 pm

I don't think it feels as good as free money!

But Nibile, this year is the year to do comps - first year in Veterans + careful selection of competition = glory.

I beat 3 other guys in the Languedoc- Roussillon regional championships. However, if I now go to the inter-regionals I will be up against the the PACA winner - some punter called François Legrand...

I'm now giving up comps again, I have a gold medal, a podium photo and my kids are proud of me. That'll do!

Nibile · January 30, 2012, 04:40:01 pm

what has ever done that Francois on plastic?
oh wait a minute...

come on, keep going!!! you never know what could happen. imagine Legrand having the worst day of his career, and you the best. imagine problems set to all your strength and to all Legrand weaknesses (?????).
DREAM BIG.

Jaspersharpe · January 30, 2012, 05:45:35 pm

Psyche him out with a pair of brown y-fronts.

Palomides · January 30, 2012, 08:08:02 pm

Strangely enough, the inter-regionals are being held in Briançon... I wonder if he's still got the same pants?

cjsheps · January 31, 2012, 01:30:45 pm

At the start of this year, I had a little pipe dream to get me through exams of a long trip to Ceuse in the summer. With it being my dream crag, I thought it'd be a good source of motivation. In the mean time, I've somehow managed to convince my parents to let me go, my friend to come with me and his dad that this wasn't a bad idea at all. The culmination of which is that last night, I BOOKED THE FLIGHT! All that remains to do now is some

with plenty of

With a good training program, some good old-fashioned hard work and some luck, this will be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me! Just proof that dreaming big's a good way to go!

one foot of snow outside and counting.
I have a draw full of supplements, a fridge full of food and alcohol, a beastmaker and a 55° board.
I am on holiday.
I fear nothing.

SA Chris · February 01, 2012, 11:33:48 am

Do you ski or snowboard Nibile?

Nibile · February 01, 2012, 11:45:26 am

I used to ski, and I really loved it. last time I skied it's many years ago though: it's a very expensive practice here in Italy, and my knees aren't worth the expense!!!

Jaspersharpe · February 01, 2012, 12:08:11 pm

Fuck skiing. Eat, drink and train! You will surely crush your project once the enforced hibernation is over.

SA Chris · February 01, 2012, 01:57:41 pm

Fuck training. A powder day is always a good day.

Fiend · February 01, 2012, 08:35:46 pm

Skiing is a great complement to climbing/training. Plus a lot more elusive than even the mintest conditions!

Fiend · February 02, 2012, 11:36:31 am

Had a mission up to Glen Nevis and managed to do my new project up there which had been bugging me for a while! Hurrah for Scottish winter conditions.

2nd problem...featuring the gayest power-whimper ever.

Nice Fiend. Looks like you have the makings of a good comeback from injury year.
