Took down two apple trees in the yard and cut wood all day.

Event: Sno-Racin'!
 

Pickup.

Sno-Racin'! went great! Some new faces, a beautiful day and all smiles.

Low key, five climbs. One, Mr. Wiggles, the constant competitor gave some difficulty, but still had success without any falls.

Damn finger is still bothering me, and my hands are completely trashed.

I love getting paid to workout... and rehab a tight back!

Bouldering. Got a quite a few problems and had a decent workout!

Setup for Sno-Racin'! at Crowbar Lake.

Had an awesome climb... did five routes. While four were unremarkable, one, "Pretty but Dumb" was a great battle! It changed slightly toward the crux and I missed just about every move making it quite a struggle. Hung on to finish it though with very pumped arms! (It's 5.10)

First game of the finals... it was awesome! Setup the winning goal to take it 2-1. The game was quite physical, the refs did a great job of letting things go since it was just guys playing hard not being dirty or obstructive or anything. Towards the end one of their better players who I've been frustrating all year (he's ended up punching me several times... cool guy) grabs my stick, throws it away, punches me in the face cutting my lip, bear hugs my hands so I can't hit him and starts mouthing off. What he didn't know is that this OG has been around the block and is a surgeon with an elbow. Dead pan I ask him if he really things he's got a chance of coming out on top of this altercation at which point he started to clue in that I had been throwing him around all game, and I am about 70 lbs bigger... not to mention I look pretty B.A. in this playoff beard. At that point he did try to get away, but that bea rhug on my hands was now working against him. Gave him a swift right elbow that'll learn him not of mess around any more. I was gentlemanly enough to deliver the elbow to his head / helmet as opposed to his chin so no real harm done other than a bit of a rung bell. I imagine he'd have had to visit the Dr. for 15 minutes in a quite room if that were protocol though!

Back in action... felt good after a strange weekend of mysterious illness!
