Yesterday (and officially today as well) I competed in the Dutch Student Championships Lead climbing (short: NSK Sportklimmen)
And gosh, suddenly I was a little insecure girl, not knowing if I could climb on these walls and if I’d reach a proper place in the ranking. I got completely influenced by arrogant girls who were telling me they’re basically better climbers.
When people shouted up when I was climbing I wasn’t thinking of climbing better but thinking of the girls who were all hoping I’d fall off so they would win. So I climbed too slow, too insecure and not strong enough.
Strange how much influence people can have on me.
All the waiting in between the routes didn’t help either. I was happy that they shortened the program to just one day to avoid having the finals in the rain (it’s raining here today)
Though, I reached second place.
I drove to Utrecht with Jasmijn (who became 6th) and Truong Ngo, who also landed in second place. And now up for the next competition in Amsterdam, bouldering this time. Hopefully I’ll do better there :)
