The VSF was planted bright and early at 0545, the new launch time for The Forge. Rain was forecast, and the ground was soggy, but the only reason the PAX ended up soaked was because of the work put in.

Today’s theme was low and slow. The human body uses a lot of kinetic energy to return to the starting position, pausing to let the energy dissipate before returning to the starting position uses more muscle.

Warm up in the parking lot. SSHx35,  GM x. 50, IW x 15, WI x 15, SFAC x14x2

Take a quick jog to the top of the parking lot, paint the lines back down.
