Taper? We Don’t Need No Stinking Taper

Taper? We Don’t Need No Stinking Taper

Posted for Van Pelt by Mermaid

Shovel flag planted firmly by Young Love once again.

Perhaps we should taper before the BRR?  Taper does not mean easy.  Taper means no twisted ankles scaling North Face or thrown-out backs performing a bear crawl up a hill.  Otherwise, let’s get our iron sharpened.  Disclaimer given.  No FNGs.

Thang

Mosey around the parking lot.

All to 10 IC except Freddie Mercury done to 20 with cadence tempo changes.  Hold feet at 6 inches after each exercise: Flutter/Dolly/Rosalita/Flutter/Drop feet.  Freddie Mercury x 20 IC (BRR style).

COT

Moleskine

Respect to Snowflake because, well, he is within the Respect age range and he ran in and out of the workout.

Spreading out for stations reduces the mumblechatter, at least what YHC could hear.  Hmmm, worth considering next time.

Sorry we did not hit all 8 stations.  Perhaps we can rinse and repeat another time, and you can pick up where you left off.

Thankfully, the flabby-armed Q, picked up the curl rocks.  None were worthy of the big guns that posted.

YHC took group out in BOM

Announcements

Good luck to BRR runners, drivers, and support crews.  Here’s to a fun and safe event.
