While Jamie chills for a couple of days to recover from the madhouse of events that was the National Bouldering Series 2007, I thought I'd post a few of the results from the final round. Disclaimer: These results are by no means complete and may not even be totally accurate. They are composed from a vague memory that was partially distorted from drinking beer and not really paying attention at the time. I apologise in advance for any mistakes.
The day went off without any hiccups and a great time was had by all. Despite high temps and less than ideal conditions some managed to still tick off a few of the harder problems before the day came to an end. Despite Connie and Andrea "Jellybean" Barrueto both starting the comp around lunchtime, they both still crushed the opposition in the women's recreational division sending 51 problems each. The women's expert division was easily won by Mayan with Terezka coming in at second place. As for the men's expert division, Jan was thwarted from a clean sweep of the series due to local knowledge coming up trumps on the day. The category was won by, well...me, with Jan coming in at second place. Even with spending most of the day filming Stuart Kurth pulled out several V8 and V9 flashes, only put 5 climbs on his scorecard and still managed to secure third place. Nice one bro!
As for the series results, it was czeck city on the highest part of the podium as Yan and Terezka both won the overall expert Division. Liz came in second in the female expert, while Myself and James Morris placed second and third in the men's.
I'd also like to give a big shout out to Jamie, who's early mornings and weekends have been sacrificed for the past few months so we can all take part in the best outdoor competition in the country. Good job!!!
