This weekend I pushed passed a lot of personal barriers. It has been a hectic year to say the least and I was insecure about competing without feeling completely prepared to succeed. • It is important to have goals and be confident in our abilities to achieve them, but, for me, it is even more important to let go of my expectations and accept that after all I have or have not done to prepare I may not walk away with the result I want. Taking this competition one round at a time and having fun with the process helped me relax and grow confidence climb by climb. Beyond excited to have secured a spot on the Canadian National team and walk away with a bronze medal. • A HUGE congratulations to @alannah_yip @allisonvest @seblazure @jj_mah @mccollsean and all the competitors for an incredible and inspiring performance. A thank you to the route setters and @rjf_climbing for one of the most fun competitions I have ever competed in ?@boilerroomclimbing
