So I went to the SYBC’s with low expectations, seeing as 8
weeks prior I fractured my finger… also the fact that at my last British comp I
came a not too impressive 11th L
So the day started off with getting up mega early so to give my support to the Irish
competitors in youth c. Unfortunately the few that did compete didn't have the
best day and one shortly missed out on the finals! At 12 o’clock I started to
warm up and shortly later got climbing!!! The first 10 or so problems went fine
bar a few sketchy tops… :/ At about 1:30 I noticed I only had 5 more problems
to tick, These 5 were the harder end of the set but I felt comfortable on the
first 3 and then I moved onto the 2 hardest... on my first go on the easier of
the two I slipped off on a jump but managed to top on my next attempt, by this
point the time was just running out so I couldn't try the last problem...
Later on in the day I found out I qualified in 4th
position for the finals so I got my stuff together and headed for isolation! In
isolation I discovered that I was a lot more tired than I realized so when I tried
my first problem I came off going for the bonus on most of my goes L The second problem
went better I managed the bonus on my first go but got my hands mixed up so couldn't progress… at this point I was exhausted so I couldn't repeat the start after
that… The last problem was a slab and using different beta to the others I managed
to bypass the first 4 holds and touch, and very nearly hold the bonus hold
multiple times, but it was too little too late and I was forced to leave as
soon as my time ran out to catch my flight J
All in all I was very pleased with how much I progressed but I noticed I need
to PRACTICE FINALS!!!!!!
