    Nice! I like the incentive to go fast on the 800 so you have more time to rest ;-)

    Here is a video of a bird's nest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUI9kjePRa8. All the videos I found were "kids' gymnastics" which is interesting because I felt like a kid doing them. :)

    I did that once a long time ago. Was terrible at it. Justin had to help me get my feet into the rings.

    Didn't say I was great at it, just that it was fun :). The first time, Justin helped me get my feet in the rings, too.
