Yeah, I spent more time this week trying to work problems that I was getting stuck in backwards. Like, oh, to push up I need that foot there so I go in this order, or to keep my balance there I need to get a hand to that one, etc. It helped a bunch!

I will do a new shoe post, then, but I did want to say thanks for the awesome advice, I made good use of it not being a complete n00b with the salesguy.

The gender split's been more equal other times, and it might have been there was a critical mass of dudes in the main area and that kept women out. That sounds awful, but I know it takes more guts to walk up to a wall when twenty brawny dudes are there!
