McDowell Invitational

Great first race.  Out varsity boys took a fifth place finish and showed they are ready to compete in the District X this year.  

Many high finishes and great performances.  Very proud.  No practice on Monday . . . come back strong next week.  

Here are the results:  http://bigwhitetrailer.com/timing/results_2012/20120901McDowell.php

First Race

Our first race at McDowell this Saturday will be a sight to behold.  Our boys varsity team is running extremely well--I expect several very high places and we'll see what the team is capable of overall.  Our girls varsity is improving.  I hope for good things.  The junior high runners are starting to understand that you reap what you sow.  Some are ready; others will see how fast others can be.  

I am very excited!  No practice on Friday--you've earned the break.  Rest well and be ready to go bright and early.  We leave at 7am sharp.  We race at 8:40 with boys jr. high kicking us off.  Check out the information above.  

It Was A Good First Day

So, we need to keep hydrated.  Everyone needs to drink water throughout the day so as not to get dizzy, disoriented, unnecessarily sore during workouts.  We have a huge race this Saturday.  Are you ready? 

I am so ready to see you achieve your goals . . . 

Updates and Changes

We have a few changes:  1st--The bus for the McDowell Invitational leaves at 7am not 7:30.  We will leave at 7 sharp.  2nd--We have a few new runners:  Jessica T., grade 10; Kyler D., grade 10; and Andrea [On Dray Uh] M., grade 9. Please welcome them.  They will not be racing this weekend but perhaps by September 11, out first region race we can have them whipped into shape.  

Day 2 of practice:  1200s--yuck.  It's over. First day of school tomorrow.  To all my seniors, note this.  I have been looking forward to you arriving all summer.  We are going to learn so much.  I already am very excited to get to know you and teach you.  And be taught about each of you.

1st Afternoon Practice

Practice went very well this afternoon.  Got some miles in, got a new runner--shoutout to Jessica T.  We will get faster this week because now our legs will recover.  Keep up the solid attitude.  

I love running in the rain.
