El día de hoy, decidí retomar mis rutinas y me dirigí a hacer un largo trote hacia la hermosa playa Cumboteña. Debo admitir que, después de una semana completa sin correr, el cuerpo lo siente. El trote se sintió notablemente pesado; mis piernas y mi respiración tardaron en encontrar el ritmo habitual, recordándome la importancia de la constancia en el entrenamiento. Sin embargo, mientras avanzaba por el camino, mi mente de atleta se enfocaba en algo más. Durante mis carreras anteriores, siempre veía una barra solitaria en el camino y la idea de lanzarme a hacer algo de freestyle siempre cruzaba mi mente. Hoy, finalmente, decidí parar y probar a ver qué tal resultaba la improvisación.
Today, I decided to resume my routines and went for a long jog towards the beautiful Cumboteña beach. I must admit that, after a full week without running, the body feels it. The trot felt remarkably heavy; my legs and my breathing took a long time to find the usual rhythm, reminding me of the importance of perseverance in training. However, as I moved along the road, my athlete's mind focused on something else. During my previous races, I always saw a lonely bar on the way and the idea of throwing myself to do some freestyle always crossed my mind. Today, finally, I decided to stop and try to see how the improvisation turned out.
Al acercarme, confirmé mis sospechas. La barra presenta varios desafíos técnicos importantes. En primer lugar, es demasiado pequeña en diámetro, lo que dificulta un agarre firme y seguro. Además, noté que la superficie resbala con facilidad, un factor de riesgo considerable. Sinceramente, para mi estatura y estilo de movimiento, esta barra no me beneficiará para hacer un freestyle dinámico o combos complejos, ya que el riesgo de un mal agarre o un golpe es demasiado alto. Sin embargo, la curiosidad me ganó y quise ponerla a prueba con algo más controlado.
As I approached, I confirmed my suspicions. The bar presents several important technical challenges. First of all, it is too small in diameter, which makes a firm and secure grip difficult. In addition, I noticed that the surface slips easily, a considerable risk factor. Honestly, for my height and movement style, this bar will not benefit me to do a dynamic freestyle or complex combos, since the risk of a bad grip or a blow is too high. However, curiosity won me over and I wanted to put it to the test with something more controlled.
Decidí lanzar un combo básico de estáticos para evaluar la viabilidad del lugar. Ejecuté un Front Lever y un Back Lever, manteniendo las posiciones con control. Tras esta prueba, llegué a una conclusión clara: la barra se puede usar para entrenar, pero debe limitarse estrictamente a movimientos estáticos. Al enfocarse solo en holds (como los levers), se minimiza el riesgo de golpearse o resbalarse que implicaría intentar un 360 o un swing. Así que, aunque no es un spot para el freestyle explosivo, me quedo con un nuevo punto en la ruta para trabajar la fuerza isométrica. ¡Siempre es bueno encontrar nuevas formas de entrenar, incluso en los lugares menos ideales!
I decided to launch a basic static combo to evaluate the viability of the place. I executed a Front Lever and a Back Lever, keeping the positions with control. After this test, I came to a clear conclusion: the bar can be used for training, but it must be strictly limited to static movements. By focusing only on holds (such as levers), the risk of hitting or slipping that would involve trying a 360 or a swing is minimized. So, although it is not a spot for explosive freestyle, I am left with a new point on the route to work the isometric force. It's always good to find new ways to train, even in the least ideal places!
