The Tortoise And The Bear Walk

At 5’3″ and 115lbs, I tend to move faster than many of my training partners (most of whom are formidable muscle men, and some of whom are twice my weight). Similarly, when motivated to do so, small children MOVE FAST! And sometimes, no matter how many times you insist that “This is not a race!” and emphasize, praise, or demonstrate that technique is more important than speed…

Today we reenacted one of our teacher’s more excruciating drills, and invited the little speed-demons at Lewis Elementary to engage in a race to see who could go the slowest, in a [continuous] bear walk position.

Last place never felt so good!
