I've just got back from the morning's training near the royal palace in Madrid. Had a brilliant session with a few new things and also surprised myself generally with capability. It's nice to finally start feeling some reward for all the recent hard work.
New Things:
Front sumi on grass. This one's been bothering me for a while now but I've finally got it down on the un-sprung flat.
Improvement:
Precisions felt really nice today. Did some larger ones from a big block to a thin rail in particular. Also did a few standing jumps, clearing a bush onto a rail at right angles. This sort of thing would normally freak me out but today it just worked. I think it's simply down to the huge amount of balance work I've been doing since arriving here.
Old Things:
Back Tucks. They needed work, so I practiced them. Felt that they got a bit better but the whole tech needs breaking down really. Basically i'm not tucking tight enough but they still work.
So far a very good day for training. Still thinking about how I can film some of my recent activity. Weather is beautiful today, like summer in England, which always puts me in the mood for parkour and gymnastics. Something about the air today reminded me of when Matt and I used to go to the Quadrant all the time to train in the summer weekends.
