For days before it had been pouring with rain and it looked as if the highly-anticipated girls’ jam on Manly beach would be a washout! But somehow the heavens parted to let sun through although all the girls brought their own sunny and cheerful dispositions with them (that may have helped with cloud-parting). At 11am, a group of girls got on the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly Beach, where we did the warm ups and stretching on the beach. We experimented with wall-runs (settling on wall-climbs) and the girls practised their vaults over different obstacles on the beach. Girls joined us at different times of the day, a combination of new girls and girls who had been training for the past year and it was great to see everyone eager to practise together.

The girls were going for it, vaulting over walls, signs, table tops, climbing up monuments and jumping off the pier. Anything went (and did) and eventually we stopped for lunch at well past 3pm.After all that running around, a bit of cooling off was needed and we headed into the ocean for a swim. At the end of 2008, it’s great to finish off the year with a mix of new and old faces in the Sydney traceuse community. And best of all, it ended 2008 on a high note and with everyone ready to go in 2009!
Here is a short video of the day, enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
