Our second class was just as exciting and fun as our first. We came home energized to continue our agility training. Although I must admit, I was tired and ready to nap on the couch (I dreamed of agility though). Today, after a good nights sleep, I am ready to get to it. I started my day like any good athlete, a nutritious breakfast and a run – 3 miles, my mom talks about that on her blog www.fat2triathlete.com. In our podcast, we will talk more about what we learned last night and our upcoming ‘homework’. However, we want to tell you a bit about it here too.
Tunnel Fever
We started the class by climbing the A-frame. It was my first time over the top, and it was FUN. Then we moved to the dog walk, man, that thing is narrow (I kept losing my footing). The tunnel was my next adventure. Although I loved the tunnel in my trilogy class, I was unsure of the full-length tunnel. It took a couple of tries for me to get it; but once I did, I loved it! Next, we reviewed the tire which we learned last week,…I am super fast through the tire. I practiced ‘tabling’, mostly we just had to hop on the table and stand there…easy cheesy! I also had my first chance at the ‘chute’. The chute was easy, just like the tunnel at first (they held the chute part open), I loved it, and soon was running through without the chute being held open. The last new thing I did was the teeter-totter (or in my case maybe the teeter-tooter), it was fun but narrow (In case you didn’t know, I am a big boy). Lastly, we practiced our weave poles and while they weren’t plungers in the living room, I still nailed it…judges, hold up your ‘10’ score cards, please!
We Talk about last nights training in much more detail in our podcast (You do not want to miss it – it’s chock full of goodies).

Tomorrow, we will be posting about the importance of the trainer. How to pick the right trainer for you (and your people), picking a training facility and more.
And remember, there is no obstacle you can’t get around if you’re willing to run, jump, tunnel or weave.
