Year 10 and Winter Thoughts

Well I am trying to get myself organised for the next few months up to spring. Year 10 brings lots of hard academic work which I have to focus on over the next two years. So that's sort of priority from now on. Music will get harder and I have to work harder than I am doing now to achieve the high level of music that I want so desperately.

With parkour as well, the winter brings opportunity to condition and get my body into much better shape. Work harder on balance skills and particularly get a lot better at handbalancing. I aim to be doing tuck up to handstand after a climb up by my birthday (end of October). Flexibility will be a big part of this winter as well.

I really want to utilise my time more towards things that would help me progress; researching the body and how it works in relation to the mind and exactly how food effects what you are able to do.

Hopefully be able to go to Ipswich more frequently to train in an urban environment, making it slightly more easy to move confidently in the rain.

I have high hopes for next summer but know that no one gets to the high level I want without hard work. So bring on the winter.............. :D

Cambridge Trainingsss

9TH August we did go to Cambridge. Finally. The spots are amazing and full of different levels of things. The whole city just seems to have this great feel about it like no other I have ever been to.

It was tipping it down all day but we still got loads done and proved to ourselves that people like Phil Doyle etc. are not superhuman but just train a lot in good spots and look after themselves as much as we do. We just haven't been in good spots or doing it as long. So we are now desperate for more trips out there or at least Ipswich or Colchester. I also realised yesterday on a particularly difficult precision that I wasn't committing to with both feet how to get over something like that. I have been dropping my left foot a lot recently on precisions that are quite low and I spent about an hour on this one precision that was exactly the same. I didn't let it fustrate me to the point of not thinking straight, but instead pushed myself closer to committing all the time. Then just did it. Which felt nice :D

Now just apply it to the Wolsey precision to see if it really works.........

Many thanks to Steve and Ross for coming along. Special thanks to Ross for being a great guide and just generally making it a great day out. Steve as well of course.
Good to see Steve push himself and think about things properly and good to see Ross not get overwhelmed by the famous spots and thinking about everything the way he usually does.

Going again on the 22ND September latest. Should be hard to top yesterday; great day!
