the different ratings. As you come back down in stroke rate for the
last 5 min., be sure to mirror the same splits you had for the first 5

Remember: This is full pressure for 11 min., so pace yourself accordingly.

Unbreakable.

On Wednesday afternoon, David was involved in car/bike accident and sustained a broken collar bone.  Fortunately David is otherwise doing fine and is resting at home with family.  We all wish David a speedy and full recovery. 

Note: All group classes will continue running as normal and we will maintain our full schedule in David's absence.
