November 24 Bounding with the Knoll People









A full quarter of the group of 15 showed up wearing shorts on November 24th, huh? The temp was pegged at 44 degrees and we beat the rain by two hours making for a great night. Steve's HRM (be sure and click on it) shows the crescendo like effort we had. The needle like spikes are in contrast to earlier in the year where the recovery interval took longer than the working phase. The POOF Theory of Stroke Initiation was born out last light as most demonstrated a longer push off on their strides. Remember that pushing off the outside edge is an advanced model but easily [?] mastered and is what seperates the good from the great. Practice that one....a lot.
A bunch more notes: The 17th Birkie Class is a go on Dec. 8th. Our roster list is coming along and you can sign up at www.incompetition.com .
Erick (the K is silent) Wikum has linked in the complete hill video on YouTube, find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfy_hVXsNbc . A star is born.
Next week we wrap up the year in bounding as snow is scheduled to be on the ground on Dec. 6th. Steve said the 30 reps last night felt easy, conditioning will do that to you. Get out and practice some "push a ways" from the Thanksgiving table. Eat the veggies and try Sprite misted on your salad instead of dressing, it's really good. Have a great week and we wrap it up next Tue. at 5:27pm.
