finally back to our grassy square work! teams of three, roughly matched in speed (I ran with Tim & Joel 'cause I wanted to work hard!)...diagonal efforts were downhill therefore flagpole efforts were uphill...efforts were, in order of runners, diagonal downhill to right, uphill, diagonal downhill to left, uphill...between each effort you jogged/walked to the opposite side of the square...I was runner #1 for us and we managed 29 efforts in 30mins (Tim, #3, was just short of completing his 29th when the whistle went)...
