I just got back from the qualifying round at nationals.

The routes were VERY fun and super-cool. They were actually the 2 funnest routes I've ever got on at a comp... they made me enjoy plastic climbing for once.

I flashed the first route, as it was pretty easy. I'm sure most if not all people did...

The second one was more difficult. I was climbing slow. After my first climb i drank all my water and I needed more. My throat was more dry than ever before, and I felt like puking because it was so dry. I totally lost focus on climbing and kept thinking about how thirsty I was...

Needless to say, I did not finish the second route. I didn't even make it past the roof. I got to the hold near the 6th clip and fell. It was a good hold too... like always. I'm pretty sure that since I was more worried about my thirstyness, I was getting kinda freaked out which in return made me pumped. Bummer.... I really really hope I made it. We'll see.

PLEASE send some good vibes and positive thoughts my way... I need them right now! I'm sure most people flashed the first one, but now I just hope that not everyone made the second one... (not to be mean, but thats just how it goes...)

I'll post more after I know the results...
