The “better” I get…the less I’m sure

 

 where hips go … body follows

Acceptance : Commitment

 

 My primary focus right now is on taking care of my body and pushing the needle where i can

 

This is the level I feel at “V9c”  … to employ a different spin on the insignia designating a classic of the Tension Board. I feel good about where I’m starting 2025. 

To reach through V9+ to double digits, I need a plan; something a bit perplexing given the sea of options, varying veracities of data, and an ever more minuscule chunk of the 168 hrs in a week to deal. 4% to be exact…I’ve calculated. 

With training time of 6hrs per week as a constant what goals and requisite plan can I make happen ?… time to imagine

 paradoxically, failure is victory 

Best season I ever had but failed in fall goal 

Will train differently

“What a line, what a journey, ... I was not sure if I would have the strength to push through. I lost track of how many times I slipped, each one chipping away my confidence a bit. But after putting in so much time, I couldn’t walk away just yet.
“Honestly, it’s these kinds of climbs that make me appreciate climbing even more. Every challenge, every setback – it all adds to the journey, and the lessons learned along the way are invaluable. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to experience moments like this. There’s so much room for growth in climbing and with every struggle comes the chance to surprise yourself, if you are willing to keep showing up”
