Rendezvous 3
Cold. Raining. Warmup on the roof, quadrupedie through water, pushups in the wet. Second warmup in car lot, Yamakasi jumps, confusing directions, more jumps, slightly less confusing directions, much harder jumps. Catleaps, precisions on wet brick, sliding in the mud with Forrest. Underbars, forwards, backwards, sideways, circles, reverse sideways circles, twisting reverse sideways circles. Follow, run leap vault jump roll climb jump roll vault repeat repeat repeat, do it from memory. Lunch, persimmons! More warmups, bounce, bounce more, more bounce, bounce in a circle, jump and bounce. Run vault vault, play tag, introspection, share love, balance! Two foot jumps, rolling, more jumps, twisting, jumps and precision rolling, more twisting, scary cat balance, low vaults, twisting, backwards vaults, more twisting, crawling! Quadrupedie long distance, feel the rhythm, ignore the cold, watch reflection in hard polished stone, farther! Tricky cat, vault vault vault vault vault wallpasse, repeat, confusing tag game, partner vaults, traversal holding hands, wallpass holding hands, human ladders, crazy games with Yann! Stretching, noodles, sleep.
Indoors, warm, waiting to start. Outdoors, cold, 25min jog, forwards, sideways, backwards. First-ish warmup, mexican wave Yamakasi style, impossible crouching bounces, more bouncing, partner bouncing, run in place until you die, more impossible crouching bouncing. Second-ish warmup, quadrupedie, pushups, quadrupedie, pushups, quadrupedie, pushups, harder pushups, harder pushups, partner quadrupedie jumps, pushups, a blur of crazy ab work. First station, jumping, catleap, vaulting, finding icepacks for Nick’s ankle, ouch. Scaffolding, swing jump underbar twist precision repeat remix repeat remix repeat remix repeat remix. Big vaults, hard precisions, big jumps, tie them all together, faster faster, go go, again again, harder vaults, harder jumps. Outside, cold, balance on wobbly things, follow the leader balance drills, squat turn pistol squat turn turn pistol stand squat remix repeat, wallpasse, drop, cooperative wallpasse fail fail fail fail fail success! Free time, play, scaffolding!!! Stretch, more stretching, answer emails, write blog post, sleep.

I totally had images flashing through my mind as I read that. It seems I have a long way to go before I can even take part in that type of event!
Great post!

Haha “Ice pack for Nick’s ankle, ouch.” Like how you got that in there. Been feeling better, nice write up…I’m saving up money for a hopeful trip to Seattle this April break maybe?
