Themed Training - Escape

I tried something a little new today, though it's really just a modified tag thing and I think I saw Danno do this in a video, so maybe I stole it from him. The idea is to have a preset course to run with a few members laying in wait. Once the runner reaches a certain point, standby members begin a chase sequence. Like Legend of the Hidden Temple, if anyone remembers that old Nickelodeon show, except the stalkers popping out are tagging you instead of just scaring you. This gave every movement a sense of urgency. This led to occasionally overjumping obstacles, leading to a bit of pain upon landing cats and whatnot, or just messing up and falling over a bit.. but the general idea is to learn some sense of control while under the tension of speed. I think it worked out really well, and I need to plan out better courses to do it again, as I intend on using this method of training/drilling more in the future.
