Perfect morning for some sledding! Not too cold, just humid enough. It’s always great when a plan works out and just the right number of Pax show up – 4 groups of 2, just like I planned it. We moseyed up the bus lot where the sled was waiting. A quick technical note about sledding and anaerobic exercises I borrowed from the internet – “when you’re performing high intensity sled sprints your body is primarily using the anaerobic system which uses energy that is stored in our muscles. As opposed to aerobic activities which can be sustained for long periods of time, anaerobic activities can only be performed in bouts of about 10-15 seconds. Anaerobic activities like sled sprints are the best way to burn excess body fat and build or maintain muscle mass at the same time.” So yea, sledding is awesome. Helps you run faster, probably helps you ski better with all of that quad work, and it’s low impact which is good for our elder F3 statesmen.
Warmorama – the usual

Great work from everyone today. Sled isn’t easy, but everyone gave max effort. And as promised, the mumblechatter was kept to a minimum, hard to mumble when you can’t catch your breath. Now I just need one other guy to get a sled so we can have the ultimate sled workout – SLED RACES!
