Back to the Ninja


 We signed James up for a ninja competition months ago, and even though we haven't been to ninjas this fall (due to schedules and illness and so on), he was still excited to go last weekend. 

Unlike previous competitions that were mostly kids from Hybrid Fitness, this one was a National Ninja League qualifier, and there were teams of kids from a gym in Rochester and one in Michigan. (It's turning into a real sport!)

Despite his lack of practice, James had a great run.  Unfortunately, he didn't quite complete the rock wall -- he landed partially on the mat instead of on the landing pad -- so he wasn't one of the top finishers. However, based on his speed and skill level, I think he was still one of the better kids and most likely would have placed if he hadn't had that error.  That's okay, though, he still had a great time, and it was fun to see the ninja folks again!
