Themed Training - Agility

I finally got to do my agility theme! Trey and the others were late, so the beginning just had Raquel and I. After goofing off a bit, I warmed her up with some QMs, reverse QMs, and forward burpees. The arrival of the others brought in the tripedals, purposefully blocking one limb from movement, before we got into some light conditioning. This really just consisted of the ab press-ups and walking pistols. The agility segment consisted of a run involving some vaults and quick turns through a short path, ending in a landing that immediately took off into a broad jump diagonally. Then we had some shuttle runs and ended the agility segment with a series of broad jumps that required taking off in a different direction immediately upon landing. Eugene had ridiculously far side jumps compared to the rest of us, which brings me to the understanding that there's a capacity of jumping that I haven't trained so intently.

From there, we moved to a set of dense rails where the agility theme unofficially continued. This was in the form of some continuity runs, but it was nothing outside of my comfort zone, so it doesn't quite count so much. I helped Raquel with her turn vaults, among other things, played around a bit, and we played this game where we tried to each do 5 consecutive squats on the rail. No one succeeded. Eugene got closest with three. Raquel and I both topped off at two. But it worked the foot muscles a hell of a lot just trying to do that and my balance probably improved if ever so slightly just from that.

From here, we went onward to the fountain where we basically played around with jumps until the wind down. Eugene talked me through getting the courage to jump between the furthest concrete slabs. I can just barely make it, and certainly not well. Give me two weeks. That's my goal... to get that jump cleanly.
