Tumble Talk: Kaitlin Joseph

Hey Everybody!

After a restful week off of bootcamp, we were able to really amp up the energy in the gym this week! Things are starting coming together...we're putting together half routines on bars, nailing big vaults onto stacked mats, and hitting tumbling passes in endurance sets on floor. Watch out for Maryland gymnastics this year!

One of my favorite things about being part of the Maryland family is our willingness to learn from each other and try new things. This week Kelsey McDermid shared some of the exercises that she learned in her swimming class and we integrated them into our Wednesday pool workout. The combination of lap swimming and out-of-pool conditioning gave us something new to try and kept our workout interesting. Thanks Kels!

This Sunday was an exciting day for two reasons. First of all, our very own Lizzy Manzi turned 19! The weather turned out to be perfect, and we had a little birthday barbeque outside on the new Washington quad. Happy birthday Lizzy! Second of all, it was our LAST Sunday bootcamp of the year! As a fun way to celebrate our last run, we were split up into two teams (Black and Red), and each team raced through a series of 4 "events"...sprints, wheelbarrels, shuttle runs, and a combination relay. While it was a grueling workout, we had fun cheering for our teams and even wore facepaint to show our team spirit. I'm proud of the way that this team has worked throughout bootcamp 2010 and would like to send a shout-out to my fellow seniors on making it through 4 years of Sunday running workouts! Now we have to continue working hard and finish up this last week of bootcamp with a bang!

Thanks for reading!

KJ
