Krabi Update No. 3, Post Krabi and what not.

Ok here is the update for the last week at Krabi. The weather for that particular was wet and windy. It was raining everyday. Not much time to climb and only certain places are climbable eg Tonsai Roof cuz the rest are all wet! We were pretty much stoning most of the time at Freedom Bar while waiting for the rain to stop. Didnt climb much.

Monday @ Tonsai Roof
Baby Gorilla 7c - Hangdog

Tuesday @ Tonsai Roof
Baby Gorilla 7c - Redpoint (~20 tries)

Thursday @ Dum's Kitchen
Tiger Queen 7b - Hangdog

Thursday @ Tonsai Wall
Sex Power 8a - Hangdog

Caleb, Tony, John and I left Tonsai on Friday Morning for Patong. We took a boat from Tonsai to Ao Nang followed by a chartered mini bus to Krabi Town and then a 3 hr Patong. After circling the place a couple of times we finally found a place to stay for the night. After dropping our packs, we make out way to this giant (well maybe not so giant) shopping mall called Jungceylon. We watched Hancock for 140 Baht which is less than $6. Walked around the happening area of Patong. Lots of clubs and bars and hookers and trannies lol. John and I took a cab to the airport on Saturday morning and arrived in Singapore at 1230.

All and all I felt that 3 weeks is Krabi is a little too long for me. But somehow 2 weeks doesnt feel long enough. Maybe I need to climb more. But I enjoyed myself. Really experienced the eat, sleep, climb lifestyle. However its great to be back too!!

Trained on Monday. Went to school in the afternoon to do hangs and system training. My pinch strength has definitely improved but the tendons in my left arm dun seem to be functioning as they should. I felt a slight discomfort in my left forearm while I was hanging on pockets. Looks like I really have to avoid pockets for the time being. I ran 6.4km that very night. I ran very hard with a timing of 38 mins. Which I guess wasnt a bad timing considering the fact that I did not run for 3 weeks. For some reason my thighs have been aching for 2 days straight. It was almost that same horrible feeling that I experienced after running the Standard Chartered Marathon. But at least I am better now.

Will be taking part in Race 6 organised by NUS ODAC. It will be a 3 day 2 night adventure race around the territorial borders of Singapore. So exciting!! Met up with my team yesterday to discuss who to bring what and attire. After that we went to play DOTA. I think it was almost a year since I played that game. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I might just pick it up again, at least for these few weeks before school starts.
