Last night was my first time doing gymnastics in a little over a month. I got sweaty fast. My form blew, and I screwed up my front handsprings repeatedly. But, I had fun. I will be _very_ happy to go back to umn’s facilities in the fall. Their spring floor and tumble track had all the spring of a peat bog. It’s in a neighborhood where I don’t feel completely safe. It’s a little out of the way on public transportation. On the other hand, it’s a gymnastics facility. I’ll take what I can get. I really ought to check out whether uic has any open floor type thing going on.
You and your handsprings…!
For the record, I am neither feeding nor changing the diapers of overambitious quadriplegic scu.
These were forward handsprings. The one I attempted at home was a backhandspring. I’m much more capable going forward. =)
I had a dream about doing a floor routine in a park like I used to do as a kid. i somehow doubt I would be able to pull that stuff off in real life without a lot of practice and bruises.
I’ve managed to avoid bruises so far, but I haven’t tried in a park. =)
