... I was always amazed how people can juggle with this heavy things called kettlebells... And I never had a chance to try it myself.
We don't have a well equipped place for juggling in Riga. And we've got our first 8kg kettlebell just about a half a year ago. The lightest we always had was 16kg. Imagine me throwing this thing :) I was scared to do my first snatch there, cause I jumped from zero to 16kg just after 3 or 4 month of training with free weights. And of course I wasn't even thinking of juggling.
But today was my lucky day! I went to the Ventspils Olimpic Center with the girls who train there (Julia and Jevgeniya Prokopenko). They were practicing power juggling. I was watching them... and then... I decided to try it myself. Girls were very happy to hear that I am interested and gave me some advices how to begin.
I can't say that I am already a world champion on power juggling, but I managed to do some swings and didn't kill myself :)
That was a great experience! I am really looking forward to the next day of juggling which I hope will be next monday.

Hey... we're thinking along the same lines. Maybe it was all of that fabulous juggling we saw at the meet but I wanted to try my hand at it also. I'll let you know how it goes - unless I drop it on my head and then my next of kin will let you know how it went.
