hallo climbers! anyway, i just wanna say that don't be demoralized if you ranked among the last few or even last for the mock comp. you can be sure that i fully understand, because i also kena before (right, jups?!? haha) but the thick-skinned me just continued training, and eventually actually won something - novice third for pumpfest 2004. FYI, alvin also ranked last for his 1st mock comp as a junior - but after training like a madman, he later won novice third for pumpfest 2005 (coincidentally). so to say, if you ranked last for this mock comp, CONGRATS! you may well win something for pumpfest 2006! hahaha...

have fun sharing tips with one another (esp. the winners) on the mock comp routes.
