I shall start at roughly the beginning.
On Monday I went to the climbing centre at Surrey Sports Park and checked out the wall there; really quite impressive. I was planning on climbing on easyish stuff but ended up pulling on some stuff a bit harder than expected.
I felt ok for the session, and infact I felt alright for the evening too, but the next day my forearm aches, like a muscular ache...For some reason I feel this is a good thing. At least now I know where to ice my arm and stick on some gels.
I also got hold of my protein from Bath, I dont know if this will help healing, but it cant do any harm, apart from making me feel ill whenever I catch whiff of it.
I also had another short fives session today playing topstep into the buttress. I think I got my spin much better in the short session and I am also much more proficient in volleying with both hands. I think I need to work on playing backcourt shots into the buttress now, I can play a cut style shot but a straight in shot generally seems to go down. I am trying to hard to play the perfect shot and instead delivering something worth nothing...
Adieu.
Judging by the sound of this post, it seems you had your hand injury under control for the most part, which is definitely a good thing. A lot of people underestimate just how debilitating a hand injury can be, but it’s when we hurt our hands that we realize just how much we need them to be able to do basic and important things. I hope that your hand has continued to heal and that it’s working like clockwork again.
