I was not an athletic kid. I enjoyed playing "army," climbing trees, tag, and Star Wars. I didn't even really get interested in sports until after college when I took up climbing. But in the last 10 years I have found myself drawn deeper into more sports as a way to cross train for climbing. It began with a simple jog. Before I knew it was running in a 5K. Last year I ran a trail marathon for some bizarre reason. Then I took up biking in the summertime because it was too damn hot to climb. This year I rode in the 100 mile Tour De Rock. Today, I hopped on a mountain bike for the first time in years. If I am not careful, my cross training sports are going to get in the way of my rock climbing....
