today went Storm the Wall with Carm, Clem, David, and Ryan. we were in the co-rec / community team. Ryan swam, i sprinted, clem biked, and carm ran... then we all climbed over the 12-foot wall, it was really fun (and tiring). haven't sprinted soooooo fast and soooo far for soooooo long...... my legs were burning really bad.... oh and there weren't many teams to compete with.. so we got lucky~~~ we go into finals (after preliminaries) and we came in 3rd. the biggest problem was the biking part..... people had racing road bikes and we had a mountain bike (even tho it's really really nice bike), but still, competing like that for speed, we lost a lot of time.... also, i can't sprint -___-" and i really really suck at running... thx to ryan we had a head start both times^^ he came in first for swimming for both times.... and i came in 1st, then 2nd for the running.... biking we finished at about... 3rd? then at the wall we came in 3rd.... 1st prelim round our time was 18:30 final round our time was 18:24 i think we will be doing it again next year... some improvements for next year: - borrow a racing bike? - try going on 1 person for all of us... cuz both ryan and david said it's so much easier... and it'll be faster that way too... oh yah and i got HUGE bruises.... got 10+ bruises plus cuts and scraped skins... i'll post a pic.. haha... but it's pretty gross tho.... and the pics @ the wall was yesterday during the clinic... so that was just practice... - thx kso for taking pics^^ [taken out] my right inner thigh.... (also i have bruises on my wrist + 2 elbows + other knee + both inner biceps) preparing to climb the wall...
ryan going up, me and clem on top... carm and david boosting....
us talking about strategies of who's going up first, and who's pulling/boosting who.... talked for like 30mins+ in total... -___-" so confusing...
