Perhaps my favorite picture from high school gymnastics. This is called a Hecht vault. I later learned to do it with a full twist. Its almost never done anymore as its too easy. I loved the feeling of flying.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
This was good but hard. Didnt set out to try to break or even duplicate last weeks speed fest but the first mile was FAST so I went for it ...
