Lincoln 27/01/07

Lincoln was great today!

We found some scaffolding that I had seen on my way to work exp. each morning, so we spent a while on there in the morning, doing lachés, underbars and reverse muscle ups, amongst other bar work.
Then, the Echo, where I did some dive rolls through the gap, and then working into into something flowful (hopefully it looks good on camera)
We hit City Hall for some parkour tag, and then the Green Rails, where we preceded to train topless (in the middle of January!), then we headed to M&S (still topless)and trained until we got kicked. Then, through town to the college, and the new black rails there, where I did some bare back rolls on concrete after jumping down a few steps (it was good practise for landings and rolls).
Afterwards, we headed up to Magistrates Court, and did some general movement and precision training. I tried the upwards precision a few times, nearly stuck it, and the last time I went all out, got my feet on the top and slipped, and landed on my elbow and back after a few foot drop. My elbow got a bit cut and my back got a bit scraped, but just normal wear and tear. We headed back up to the scaffolding after stopping off to watch Stu and Jack do some huge precisions near the river. I filmed Jonny doing a run through the scaffolding whilst being carryed by Stu and Jack, which was a laugh! When the day was through, I headed back home with Jonny and Stu Pembery, whilst Luke stayed tll 5:30. All in all, it was a good day, except for some annoying tag alongs, who did a bit of training, but were complete knobs, even after we tried to educate them. I wont include any of their stupid comments, about how they train and what parkour is, but lets just say it was misguided to say the least.

Acheivements:

Nearly sticking the upwards precision at Magistrates.
Dive rolls at the Echo.
Rolling technique is a lot smoother, didnt hurt at all bareback on concrete.
Nearly acheiving reverse muscle ups, I did one though.
Lachés are a bit better, as is arm strength.

PS: Me and Jack did a pressup challenge yesterday via MSN, we did 10 sets of 15 reps, with 3 minute breaks in between each one. A grand total of 150 was completed by each of us, and I did 100 the day before, so I am very pleased.
