The Colorado Weekend

I'm actually going to type up stuff for Thursday through Sunday of LAST week since I haven't done it yet...

In Colorado, the altitude change was something I was totally not used to, and i was winded by walking up and down stairs and then doing about 50 meters with my stuff (about 30lbs). Kinda sad. But I managed to borrow a bike for the weekend and Thursday consisted of me biking around town. This was probably a total of four miles, but it was SUPER tiring as my body had not adjusted to the altitude at all. Along with this, I did some training at a local church. It was mostly QM work on rails, and pseudo-rock climbing on their bricks, but it was fun.

Friday, I took another bike ride. Four miles again, with some intermittent jogging as I checked out various spots. I also trained extensively on an amphitheatre stage that had several railings. This was about two hours worth of training before biking back.

On Saturday, I rested, for the most part, and enjoyed the festivities. In the evening, however, I ran my Parkour workshop for the local kids and adults. I introduced them to QMing, duck-walking, and jump-tucking through the warm-up. The fitter adults were amazed at how intense the warm-up was considering that it wasn't much at all. I did short demonstrations, and taught. Was a lot of fun, but ended up more sore from this than I did before (likely because I had done so much that weekend and my body wasn't processing as much oxygen as it normally does). All well in good, I had a good time.

Will post later tonight on tonight's training session back on normal altitude and being out of shape.
