Thursday / Jin Owned Everything / Jason's knee
It's Thursday night now, I'm about to go to bed ready for tomorrow's day in the Peak District.Today was a brilliant day of parkour; Will and I met up with Jin, Jason and two other traceurs from Cambridge, we trained from 1:00pm 'til about 8:00pm, it was fantastic. The four of them had a mound of camping gear with them, including a six-man tent and all their necessary items for the whole weekend, we split the load between us and headed up to Hallam to start warming up.
I just happened to bump into my older brother on Hallam as we were warming up, which was nice, and he enjoyed seeing some parkour in action. We moved on to the Odeon shortly after, where we msut have spent a considerable amount of time training, within which, Jason unfortunately clipped his knee awkwardly on a wall on his way back from attempting a sizey kong-to-precision (or...'cat precison' I think they call it...), which kept his mostly out of action the rest of the session, but he still got to see the Sheffield spots, and took particular liking to one in particular, I'm sure he'll be out there giving it his all when he next gets the chance.
We went all round from Hallam to Sheffield Uni and the English Department, hitting the spots we knew we could train on without causing any grief, as it was a weekday. Jin owned everything. Need I say more?
It was great to train with Jin today, he's great to wtach and learn from, and is very inspiring. He's a nice guy to hang with too, I look forward to training with him on a regular basis. Sheffield has so much to offer him over the next four years lol...
Tomorrow is training in Hathersage and Grindleford. I'm training from about 2:00pm when my school trip (in Grindleford...) is over, and everyone else goes home, I get to joing the group, tag along and get on with the rural training.
Saturday will be awesome, and better still if it' sone of those amazingly summery days, like 03/03/06. That was fantastic. It will be nice to show others around Sheffield, see what possibilities they see and what they think of the sort of thing we do here. We love it, so will they.
