Pushing an elephant up the stairs is harder than I thought. After finishing the Scottish Tooling Series in a surprising place, I thought this will be a good time tae head back oot tae the worlds. Lets get two in, Italy and Romania.
Italy. With the time off I had I couldn't book a flight early enough tae get me there on time. That was frustrating. However the competition in Daone was cancelled anyway, and I really didn't feel in good shape.
Lets train. Where? No where. That's tricky. After the sad end tae Extreme Dream in Aviemore, so was the close climbing community and my training. Glenmore Lodge is a good training venue when your keen and not training for a world cup competition. After training as much as my soul could take, I was off tae Romania.
Romania, due tae high winds, flight was cancelled and connecting flight was also not going tae get me in time for registration. £300 pound for a two days in Edinburgh was not ideal.
So what noo. Pissed off isn't the word. Giving up? Not completely. But this big ass elephant is really starting tae get tae me.
Wednesday 23rd. My sponsors Schmoolz have organised a trip tae Rjukan. I am looking forward tae this, but I can say that I am feeling not the strongest, and with two days on the mountain, I'm not exactly hill fit.
I'm sure that I'll be at the top of the stairs with this elephant when I touch doon in Norway, pay for a £10 pint, and get on some ice that will be nothing less than amazing,
