DAY TWO



Today I had a private lesson with David Rodriguez (AKA "Flip" on "American Ninja Warrior") @ Tempest Freerunning Academy.  When it comes to this stuff, he's basically Yoda.  Super cool guy.  He makes it all look so much easier than it is.  It was a real workout - there's SO much to learn!

Worked on a number of vaults: Safety Vault, Speed Vault, Kong Vault, etc.

Did some wall-runs and climb-ups.

Warped Wall
I made a few attempts at the Warped Wall - got within a foot and a half of the top (I know from the chalky handprint I left behind.)  I realize now that the biggest obstacle with the Warped Wall is letting go of the fear of falling backwards and killing yourself.

Salmon Ladder
I did a pullup or two from it, but made no attempt to climb it.  Need to work on pullups where you clap your hands at the top.

LUNCH:          Salad (kale, edamame, peas, fava beans, broccoli, tomatoes, red onions, etc.)
                      Side of hummus.
DINNER:         1 and a 1/2 bratwurst
                      2 pints of beer
