My right shin was screaming at the end. I've definitely got to stay off it as much as possible for the next few weeks. The brace I've been putting on it has helped though.

So I climbed a freaking V3 today! I was at the climbing wall feeling pretty good with chord pants on, chalk covered hands, conversing with some of the regulars. I warmed up with a V2 and a couple V1's. I looked at the problem titled "This problem deserves it's own facebook group", and decided to go for it while I was still fresh. Of course, at the time I didn't honestly believe I had a shot. I just wanted to attempt it because another one of my friends had been working on it, and made it sound easier than it was.

I made the first two moves pretty easily, but the next three moves were nuts. I was grabbing on some tiny crimps, and just moving right along. Then I matched up on a hold with two moves left. The pressure was building; and I was in no-man's land now. I made a really akward cross over with my right hand before shooting up to the top-out with my left. I hung there for a second to savor my victory while some of the guys cheered me. A bunch of them could've done it more easily, but they all aknowledge when someone completes a problem that's difficult for their level.

I left the rec feeling pretty good about myself after that!

10 mile bike ride in 40 minutes around campus. Nothing too dificult here, I just went with one of the sophomores at a pretty leisurely speed.

Other Stuff
I had a pretty good lunch with my valentine today...yeah, that's all I have to say for "other stuff" this time.
