life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next on the menu was\na series of slow starts leading into 100 and 200 metres sprints in groups of\nthree and four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on from\nthis shock to the nervous system, Orla got us into 2 groups to work on a skills\ndrill, to practice our spatial awareness by weaving in and out of gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final two tasks\nwere pursuit efforts for 4 laps and a mock race on the whistle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Orla and\nEddie for their time and to everyone who braved the intermittent light showers\nof rain and the strong winds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
