Penrith and Sydney

Instead of having a conditioning session on Friday, I did more of a technical one, and felt so good about it. I managed to get a few new things at the park,my climbups felt a lot better and I came so close to getting a big cat-precision from a rail. This great session put me in a good mood for Penrith the next day. When I met Robbie, we went straight to out "epic" spot, and I got the cat-precision I had wanted last week. We also started filming a video of our training in Penrith. We found a great new spot and trained there for a while after going to our usual places, however we didnt get enough footage to make a decent length video, and hadn't trained at all the spots we had wanted. So, Robbie suggested we come back early tomorrow morning and finish it, then head off to Sydney at midday.
We met up again the next day and trained a the spots we hadn't visited the day before, and we managed to get this underbar at a park, and did a few runs that incorporated it. We both felt pretty pleased with ourselves, there were a few things that usually I wouldn't have gone for, but I trusted myself and knew that I could do them, so I was in a good mood. We got a train to Sydney at around 12:30 and we met Max on there. We had a great chat on the way to Sydney, and then we set off for the Basics class.
I managed to get almost all the way along the rock wall, it is roughly 100 metres long, and we traversed across it. I then got a large wall run, for which there was some applause, and we trained in a tree for a while. Myself and Wiseno both laughed a lot at an Asian lady who fell over when rollerskating, it was so funny.
It was a great weekend of training, which I haven't had in a while, and the video at the end of it was great. Enjoy:
