A light rain greeted a dozen bounders as we went under the lights. The warmer, 58 degree temps and rain softened grass made for a very nice workout, really, ask anyone. Most were down to shorts and tee's by the end.
We did 25 reps in sets of three. The biggest difference was the minimal loiter/recovery time. Things went fast. The wet grass made sliding the foot up the hill easier and less grabby. The soft turf made coming down easy on the body. Everyone responded to the conditions with a solid performance both technically and physically. The Lactate Interval (LI) at the end showed great technical composure for most. Note the photo of the The Lord of the Fjord. At the stroke onset the feet are together and the body coiled to spring to the next stride. Relaxed yet poised, sweet. That is a good image for next week.
Kudos of the week to Andy L. for not only riding his bike to the workout but also the 10 miles home, at night, in light rain. His carbon footprint is a 7 narrow! Whew.
We start at 5:29pm next week rain or shine because sometimes.........it's more fun in the rain.
