One of the first Themed Training Sessions in Northern Virginia commenced today. Went over really well, except that I not only had to cut the distances for my warm-up, but also cut the time by two thirds. The state of American traceurs' conditioning level has really saddened me. I don't consider myself a great athlete. Too many things get in the wya, even if I've been training harder than ever. But this was surprising to me when even a casual traceur gets wiped after 25m of QM. Very eye-opening.
Wolf brought a friend of his, Victor, who was absolutely dying with the work I put him through, so I took it easy on him. The theme for this week's training was speed and agility, so I ran them through some drills that focused on changes in direction and rapid succession of movements. I also showed them a few continuity-of-movement drills before letting it up for playing around and exploring individual technical ability.
At the end of the night, we found this massive wall. Tons of fun. I can't get it yet, but I'm very close. I'll get it within a month. I swear.
