On Saturday I went to Dundee for my first comp since 2024! This is a part of Scottish Parkour Takeover League two colleagues and myself started in 2024 in Aberdeen. This has expanded across 5 cities with the help of 9 other athletes across Scotland managing the Takeover in the city they live in.
I had a few reasons for going:
- Train with people as I normally train solo.
- See what impact taking part in the athlete programme has had on me mentally and physically.
- To encourage my students to engage with the wider Scottish community and train in other places.
So many of these challenges I would’ve walked away from just a month ago. I was honestly so pleased with some of these and didn’t imagine making some of these so quickly!
