Double Pole Time Trial Results

Frank's summary of last Wednesday's double pole time trial results:

Hi Folks,

Wanted to share the results from last week’s DP test.  Great improvements! The club is getting a very strong upper body!  Doesn’t matter how old you are – everybody can improve as shown by an incredible 6 new personal bests (PB):

M4 Andy Milne lead the charge of most improved, setting an incredible new master’s course record of 11:18, taking over 1min off his previous best.  That’s what you get for doing Ercolina every morning at 5:30am. Next most improved is J2 Hamish McEwen, taking almost a minute off his Sept best for a very strong new personal best of 12:10.  Third in the list of most improved is our very own president for life, M5 Rob “Robolina” Bradlee, who took off 26 s of his previous PB to finish at 12:41, closely followed by 25 sec improved J1 Erik Brote who is soon going to show the Swedes how to do upper body training, finishing at 13:46.  Fellow J1 Rion O’Grady is bouncing back from injury, improving by 19 sec to 13:33 and coach Alex improved her Sept 08 best by 7 sec to finish at a very strong 12:39.  Congrats everyone!

Here all the results:

Littleton Roll and Afternoon Jr Practice

The coaches pulled a double today, starting with a damp Littleton roll in the mist followed by the usual Sunday afternoon Jr practice at Annursnac Hill.  Yin and yang, mist and sun.  One unnamed master took a fall as Andy and Robert discuss a matter of technique.   Rob demonstrates the scooter drill.
