On Wednesday, team pictures will be taken at 2:00PM near the starting line to our XC course just beyond the tennis courts. It is important that EVERYBODY attend, in uniform, for the team pictures. I will remind you several times between now and then.
Saturday's practice at Burrage Pond went well I think. I enjoyed running there and even returned for an encore on Sunday. I mentioned last week that we will be working a little harder and our long run (60 minutes for most) along with the 1200M workout earlier in the week are examples of what you can expect to see over the coming weeks. Tomorrow is an important meet at Plymouth North. The PN team, and in particular the Girls, are a formidable opponent. While I would have preferred to face them a couple of weeks down the road, I feel we are physically prepared. We will discuss specifics and race strategy at practice today. Tomorrow's weather will be warm and humid with the probability of showers. Bring a second pair of socks to put on just before race time. I don't see a need for Under Armour or similar garments, but I would suggest a very light jacket or long sleeve shirt for warmup. And based on last week's race at Silver Lake, do not treat the walk though of the course as a warmup . . . pay attention to the course and ask questions if necessary. If any portion of the course is confusing tell me as we go. Familiarity with the course brings confidence.
Today will be a 25 minute shakeout run for all followed by stretching. Our focus, really, is tomorrow's meet. Hydration, nutrition, rest and mental preparation are your primary concerns right now. See you at 2:30.
Second Reminder - On Wednesday, team pictures will be taken at 2:00PM near the starting line to our XC course just beyond the tennis courts. It is important the EVERYBODY attend, in uniform, for the team pictures.
