| Back on the campus board |
The
past two months have been crazily different for me. I’ve only really trained in
the gym and in the water (is there an expression for throwing a climber into
the water??). As reported earlier, after nine months of pulling on fingerboards
and climbing holds my elbow got a repetitive strain injury. That’s why this
Summer I focused on curing it and went to the gym to do weights and rehab
exercises, ready to crush in the winter. After doing this for five days a week
for nine weeks I am happy to be back home and climbing again with good results.
With my new gained strength I am able to get 1-5-9 on the big rungs on the
campus board and I’m getting slowly back into bouldering, as I don’t want to
have a relapse of the injury

The Outdoor
Research Sensor dry holster has been great as it enabled me to monitor
the distance I paddled and listen to my music while I’m out on the water,
keeping my iPhone dry and safe out in the surf.
The Kaenon
hard core sunglasses have been a real treat to train in with, their long
arms reaching far back on your head make sure they don’t fall of in the big
surf or when running on the beach.
We
had a few days of surf which was great, but it has also been very stormy and it
rained a lot. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to go for a run with my
amazing Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket with its Pertex® Shield+ it
is fully water proof and breathable, which makes it a treat to run in.

It
was indeed a good Summer with lots of training and lots of fun. I’m now super
stoked to be back and I am ready to start University mid-September in London. There
are lots of competitions to look forward to. I feel strong and am ready to
crush!
