Fat Kidds at Walden Pond

Steaming Asian Buns checking in. This post should have been written weeks ago, but I am not the best with punctuality. Diary Queen and I had a lovely FKA adventure at Walden Pond (Concord, MA) one lazy overcast afternoon. Summer was in full swing, and we felt the need to escape the urban life.

Walden Pond's is a great place to train for sprint triathlon's especially one's involving open water swimming. On that day, it was home to couples, families, old folks, high schoolers who can drive, and shrieking children splashing each other. Dairy Queen and I went with the intention of finding a grassy meadow to do some bear crawl sprint workouts. After hiking under the trees in a light mist of rain, the only thing we really found was a bog. Not ideal for 25 meter bear crawls. We ended up just hopping in the water for a decent workout. After an hour of swimming, water treading and floating, we head into Concord to find a park to actually do those damned bear crawl sprints at Dairy Queen's insistence. In case you didn't know, bear crawls work all your major muscle groups including your tear ducts.

After the first set, we were covered in fresh grass clippings from rolling all over the ground. I'm sure cars driving by had some interesting thoughts. After we were done, we brushed ourselves off, patted each other on the back, then immediately headed to the closest and best pizzeria in the MetroWest area to stuff our starving faces: Sorrento's Brick Oven Pizzeria. Can't remember what we ordered but it was large and had sufficiently plenty of meat with few veggies on top of a thin crust dough. Just the way I love my pizza. It was amazingly delicious. I don't think either of us actually stopped for a moment to have a conversation once we had it in front of us. I may have forgotten to breath. The employees seemed pleased how much we were enjoying ourselves.
