Good evening y'all and Happy...
# Sunday!!!
## Sunday!!
### Sunday!
Welcome to Week #3 everyone! Today was supposed to be an OAE day, but we did a little bit of liberal juggling of the schedule, because we went out for a hike yesterday.

### I regret nothing!

Today went pretty well. Another short window for climbing today, as @somebuttstuff had a split shift for work and only had about 90minutes to get a workout in. To be honest though -- I'm starting to get a little bit tired and sore anyways, so I don't mind slowing down a touch. ESPECIALLY if we look at the next couple days on the calendar...

### Gulp...
This coming week starts with 3 straight ARC training sessions. These are pretty gentle, but it all kinda stacks up a little bit in the longrun. Sooo we were supposed to have a gentle day today, but instead, we got in a couple lead climbs each, and a couple good burns on some tougher top-rope climbs. Looks like we're gonna have to power through a 4 day stretch of climbing.

##### I STILL REGRET NOTHING

### Lets get into it.

#### The Workout:
##### The Plan (The Good):
* Outdoor Mileage -- 6 Pitches
* Climb well below your onsight level;
  * Pay attention to endurance and arm pump.
##### Objective Review (The Bad):
* Lead climbing -- 3 Pitches:
  * 1-5.10a route;
  * 1-5.9 route;
  * 1-5.10b route;
* Climbing some 5.11a and 5.11c on toprope to tucker us out quickly.
##### Subjective Review (*The Ugly*):
Yeah it went pretty alright, I'd say. Starting to feel a little tired though. But no bother -- that's what rest and sleep is for.  IT was nice to have just a short day today -- we're still just ramping into this, remember.

*Getting to the gym on a rainy day.*

The lead climbing felt pretty good. Started with a 5.10a route today rather than some thing even easier. But the route is probably one of the more overhanging, longer routes in the gym -- so I feel like I should have warmed up a little easier on myself. The second route was pretty straight forward and smooth. Then the last route we did on lead actually felt a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Climbing on moderately rounded, small edges, with poor clipping positions. Maybe thinking it felt hard is more an example of how tight and tired I am starting to get.

### Enter: Yoga

To supplement the short climbing session today, I've decided to spice it up a bit and do a little bit of yoga. I'm feeling super tight in my shoulders as well, so a bit of stretching / core work sounds great.

Today, In my space that I reserve down here for cool climbing stuff I thought I'd share a small journal / blog entry from [SplitterChoss](https://www.splitterchoss.com), that speaks to the mental aspect of getting hung up on a poor performance. It's important to remember that nobody is perfect, and to not beat yourself up because of a high gravity day, because

Be well, stay safe, and I'll see you on the sharp side (once it dries out around here).

# The Pitch (This is me talking about how I'm going to spend rewards -- if you're only here for climbing, you can skip this)
After my first few posts, I spent some time thinking about how I can make this space a little sexier. And two things came to mind that could really enable some cool looks at some cool places:
* A drone;
* A van.

I've picked out a nice cheap drone that I think should be a solid introduction to what I'm doing. Check thing out -- the [Yuneeq Breeze 4k](https://www.ncix.com/category/drones-1b-1183.htm). It seems to shoot pretty high quality video, and it's way cheaper than most of the other ones. Does anyone have experience with this thing? I'd like to know.

My plan with these posts (aside from keeping a journal, generating motivation and the occasional giggle, and sharing some great climbing content when the good weather gets here) is to fund climbing gadgets (drone) and adventures (van). These will directly enable me to capture more interesting perspectives and get further into these climbing parks and be able to share more about each area.

If you've made it this far down the post, then I give you mad props. Be advised, on one of the @dtube posts I made earier, I ended up getting a pretty juice upvote out of it. It is my intention to use this money as a launch pad to, in some way, shape or form, promote these posts (please tell me what is and isn't acceptable -- please let me know if something is frowned upon). 

When this post becomes *roughly* 24hrs old, I will use a portion of the liquid funds I have available and purchase some upvotes for this post:
* I will leave all SP rewards powered up in my account;
* I don't usually get much of a profit from this in terms of liquid rewards (though it can, and does, happen) -- and you can sometimes get less back than you put in. I will try to choose wisely.
* Get your upvotes in before that, and enjoy whatever curator rewards you can get! I wont do any promotion or resteeming of my own before this -- I'm trying to make this a bonus, as small as it may be, for my followers.

#### Please upvote and resteem generously. There's some amazing places on the island that I would like to share. I try to respond to all questions and comments that I get, so make some noise! If you have any questions about some of the climbing jargon / lingo I used, just ask, and I'll break it down. I might even make it a feature in my next post, in which case I'll give you some credit, and maybe even some kind of reward... unknown at this time.
