Good comp!

This whole day has been spent in transit to a climbing competition, participating in it, and getting home again, jiggedy-jig. Left with my friend at a little after 8:00 this morning, waited around for over an hour while registration went on, then spent four hours trying to get in enough whole climbs to make the effort worthwhile. There were over 160 competitors in this not too spacious gym, plus oodles of parents, spouses and other lookers and hangers-on. Contrary to the appearance of the description above, it was a convivial and jolly scene, at least for the likes of me, the only Old Broad climbing and not much concerned about competing against anyone besides myself. Of course, had a fat bit of prize money been at stake, there'd have been more Old Broads to contend with! Well, I didn't win anything in the drawing at the end of the day, but lots of kids did, which is more appropriate anyway. Made a few new friends, contributed towards the sport, and got a terrific amount of exercise. I'll be sore manana.
