Training, training.

Just trained both days of the weekend, and I'm a little tired.

Saturday was a leaving jam for Panos, who I didn't know very well, but it turned out to be quite a good jam. We started off at Vauxhall, and for a while it was just me and Panos, Robin, and a few other guys. There is scaffolding up around the building there right now, which was too good to resist, and I trained a few laches (which I haven't done much of at all before) and tried some fluid movement through the bars. It was fun, but hell on the hands. Panos showed us a few wall runs, which I did (surprisingly) first time! It may have something to do with the supershoe grip of my FiveTens, but I was happy none the less! Also trained some catpass precisions, arm jumps, precisions (Vauxhall is very versatile).

Lauri and Dave arrived soon after, and by this time the area was becoming quite crowded. Apparently it was the 3Run Family Jam that day, so London was full of out-of-towners, sessioning all of the best spots.

We got together a small group of us and headed off toward Southbank, finding spots along the way. here was a huge catpass over a big block that I was very close to clearing... maybe next time. We made is o Jubilee Garden (I think?) just next to the Eye, and hung around for a while sizing up a cat to arm, which I couldn't commit to... so I went and practiced my handstand press that Lauri has been teaching me. It's from a frog stand position, but it's a good step in the progression. I was at this point that I found out that Lauri lives in Kilburn, which is quite close to me, so we organised to train together the following day.

Sunday I met up with Lauri at a park next to Kilburn Park tube station. It's a nice little park with some solid equipment, some picnic tables, and some nice walls. We warmed up, stretched, and found ourselves a nice couple of catpass precisions which we both had to work up to. After we both got it solidly, I began sizing up what it would take to clear the wall we were precisioning to, and nearly got the balls to do it... but left it for next time.
We played around a bit on the walls, and equipment, until a friend of Lauri's - Jo(?) - turned up to join us. Jo wanted to show us a little fitness area she had found at Primrose Hill, so we set off walking, stopping off along the way at various spots. By the time we made it there, my energy levels were waning, but I'm glad we made it. It's basically a little area with various fitness apparatus including bars (high, and parallel), rings, etc with some good spots to drill rail precisions at a safe height, and do quite a few other things.
It was a good couple of days training.
