Trapeze

Those of you who have Facebook and are friends with me will already know this, but a couple of weeks ago I took a crash course in circus performing. It was a blast! I learned silks, tightrope walking, and the trapeze, and fell instantly in love with the trapeze. I liked it so much, actually, that I resolved to go again and take one of their Beginning Trapeze drop-in classes.

On Tuesday I went with a friend I'd met in the first class, and this time the hour was spent solely on learning the basics.



The silks--they were very, very hard.

 It was so hard, and today I can hardly move! I always thought I was in pretty good shape, but trying to pull yourself up a rope with only your upper body made me realize what a weakling I am. But I love the challenge. It's a great workout and FUN and I'll probably go again.
