Soaking the Colorado River.

Soaking the Colorado River.

Well it finally happened.

My many different activities over the past little bit finally caught up to me today. Juggling school several jobs and my deep routed obsession for playing hard and traveling. At first my body was pretty tired from work and training and what not then was the trip to the City of Rocks last weekend. I ended up with a head cold and was working 10 hour days till I flew to Boise to help set routes for a climbing compition that they had. Two days there then its back to Utah for more route setting for a compition here in town. Lunch and a stop in the park to lay in the sun was a welcome retreat. Now to get an idea of the amount of climbing you do when setting routes you have x amount of settters who set x amounts of routes usually between 40 to 60 routes trying and tweaking till you get it right. Once all of the routes are set you proceed to climb them all. This helps you get an idea of what they should be rated. So three solid days of that. A late night last night and early work this morning. When I got home I comletely crashed. I mean I was out physically exhausted. I slept harder then I have in months and months. Now I am refreshed and ready to do it all over again. Who wants to play?!?

You know the phrase 'earned exhaustion'? I love that feeling of coming home and having earned the right to sleep. Although I must say that I have NEVER done what you just did. Killer. Don't forget to eat, okay?
