About Me

Hey guys - I'm a med student in Sydney and loving studying medicine. But in the meantime I'm certainly head over heels into climbing, so check out our blog here and also our training site (links on the right!). Enjoy! Support us and comment if you like what we're doing - and if you want things to be mixed up, then let us know too!

Snowed under..

Man there's been so much working recently with the upcoming exams that I haven't really had time to contribute much to this blog. Every day has been about 7-8 hours of study, which gives me just enough time in between to squeeze in a couple of hours of climbing, running or piano. I've also been attending some meetings which have taken up time too, but in general things have been going pretty well.

I got my first barrier exam coming up in about a fortnight, which I'm actually looking forward to. I haven't really liked the idea of multiple choice exam questions ever, because they don't really seem to test depth of knowledge. In fact, I really feel a good series of short-answer questions (especially in the field of medicine) would be interesting and relevant to ensure proper depth of knowledge.

Anyway, I've started running since that last post and I'm feeling really good. Currently I'm doing 20 minute runs and getting about 4.5km in there, which is alright... and I'm absolutely SHOCKED that those guys in the olympics are able to run 3 minute kilometers, and maintain it over an entire race.... Seriously?

And finally, as soon as this barrier exam is over, then the climbing blog will go nuts. I've actually managed to register my domain which is awesome, and that's going to get moving real soon. I'll post here when it goes up!
