December 4th 2010, the second of the three part dark horse series begins. I had a fair amount of sleep and was stoked to climb when I woke up around 9:30am. In the month of November, I really focused on my strength. A week before December 4th I had torn down all of my upper body muscle and am now in the process of recovery. Needless to say, the comp was exhausting. Saturday was literally the worst day I've ever climbed and the hardest I've ever tried. It is frustrating, the feeling of failing when you know just 2 weeks ago you could flash this. All in all, it will pay off and my lack of strength did not turn my psyche down one bit! Competing in finals against Francesca Metcalf, Natasha Barnes, and Emma Chilton was so fun, and kept the finals round alive.
Now to sum up the Dark Horse in writing is next to impossible. So, I would like to show this video of the December 4th Dark Horse highlights. This video was taken/edited by my good friend Nick Steinwachs, props to a great recap!!
