You like parties? This one's for you - you don't even have to know how to climb to have a good time!
Registration is still open, so sign up now!!!
MUD MASH (October 31st) Halloween
And for those of you looking to really do something different on Halloween, check out our newest offering: the Laguna Lake Mud Mash!
It's a 5 and 10k running event that's more sloshing and climbing than running.
A benefit for San Luis Obispo county's Special Olympics, don't miss the trick or treating, costume contests, and get a great team together for a wild adventure in the park!
CLIMBING TIPS
Increasing Strength Through Mind Training! by Eric Horst
Hanging on the rope with pumped forearms may be an all-too-familiar situation, especially if you are passionate about pushing your limits on the rock. And, given that your failure on the rock always seems to involve a lack of physical strength, it's easy to become obsessive about strength training. In the long-run, however, you will only be able to realize your true potential when you come to recognize and act on the many non-obvious factors that contribute to muscular fatigue and lackluster performance.
These vital performance-limiting factors include: poor economy of movement (bad technique and control), overgripping (emotional anxiety), missed holds and rests (due to inflexible thinking), and shaken confidence (due to "fearful thinking"). All these mental issues produce premature fatigue and likely drain your energy reserves by 50 percent or more. Therefore, learning to think and act more effectively could very well double (or triple!) your apparent strength on the rock.
Let's examine four areas where mental training could help you unlock a higher level of performance.
