SPEEDSET
**No drylands this morning, as only one person showed up. So we did some stroke work & went the speedset instead.

It looks like this experiment with drylands isn't working out; I've given it six weeks, but if only one person is coming- the same person who's been coming all year - that says to me nobody else is interested. Disappointing...
