Wore a helmet, always do feel more confident and I don't hit my head on overhanging rocks if moving too fast with not enough thought (the sport climber in me ;))
Well.....not quite the reason I was thinking, but that works too.

Took 10 minutes on route about 20 building anchor and belaying second and rappelling back down
Whoa there, Nelly!!! Waaaaayyyy too fast. Hell, *true* trad climbers don't even climb fully bolted routes that fast. Definitely need to working on your "rest stances".

Placed 8 pieces of pro and slung 2 trees route was about 40-50"
Oh, now I see how you were so fast. That's about the right amount of pro for a route of that length, but if it had been 40-50', a *true* trad climber would've had to stop and build a belay mid-way to rest and get his second to retrieve the gear for the next pitch.
