Five gathered for an eight minute accelerated (but complete) set. After the set, we stood for 5 minutes of standing meditation. It was a very nice way to start the day.
It surprised me as the eight minutes this morning seemed much longer and slower than the seven minutes last week Tuesday. But it actually makes sense. At seven minutes (420 seconds), we are executing one position (approximately) every 3.26 seconds whereas at eight minutes (480 seconds), we are executing one position every 3.72 seconds. Now, that's only about a half a second (0.46 seconds) difference per position, but at the rate of position execution, it is about 1/6th longer for each position. At 27 minutes (1620 seconds), we are executing one position every (approximately) 12.56 seconds. If we add 1/6th of that time to each position (approximately 2.09 seconds), we are approaching a 31.5 minute set. Under normal circumstances, this should be quite noticeable.
