Waking up SUPER early Janine, Brandee and I set off at 7 am to Austin, Texas.. Hitching a ride with Matthew to arrive at UT around 9, Anne is already there with water bottles. We fool around juggling, doing silly handstands and around 10 we have about nine girls, so we get started!
Anne led us in a jog around the area near the clock tower, getting are legs nice and warmed up, then I took over and started a traversal right under the clock tower. The traversal consists of making a bridge down a long set of rails, some stair QM’ing, and some very intense doorframes that you have to jam yourself into, to get past. Not to mention the awesome sticky goop on the walls to keep birds off! During the traversal two other ladies found us and joined in. But sadly because of tours and stuff going on at UT we were asked to go to the next spot, which wasn’t a big deal, we were pretty much already ready!
So we move on to a nice patch of grass, we start out in a circle and do side monkeys, then when everyone was tired we did ten push ups, then we did some diving monkeys, a nice awesome exercise, and then guess what….10 MORE PUSH UPS! We moved to a softer grassy spot to work on rolls, at this point we split into two groups, one group wasn’t totally comfortable with their rolls, the other more comfortable but still a working progress. After that we did some rail balancing, anyone who needed help got support, and then a nice lady asked me what we were doing, while I explained I asked the girls with her if they wanted to try, and one of them enthusiastically said she would, and more of these girls tried it out! Which resulted in them not wanting to leave but sadly they had to.
We then went over to some various walls and worked on vaults, we went from Safety, to Lazy and all the girls did really well! We went to a new wall and worked reverse safety’s, which are extremely fun. Then to finish it off we did cats, and wall scales, over all it was a really awesome day, and I am hoping the girls enjoyed it as much as I did, I also want to thank anyone who helped or supported! We hope to see yall again at training!
