BB – Meter Maid’s 1st Year Post Anniversary at Incubator – 4.29.2019

What a year it has been since Airplane headlocked me into coming. My first post was at Crestwood Elementary on 4/29/2018. Abacus and Airplane had the Q for it. I thought it was difficult but I later came to realization that I was just out of shape. Now fast forward one year and I amContinueContinue reading “BB – Meter Maid’s 1st Year Post Anniversary at Incubator – 4.29.2019”

BackBlast – 10.20.18: Meter Maid VQ at the Fog

I learned two thing from this Q: (1) Recon during the actual time frame you plan to lead and (2) get better at cadence counts.

I had parked around theContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – 10.20.18: Meter Maid VQ at the Fog”
