Last Week This Week....

Team Thoughts...

Last week was our 2nd meet at Centaurus Invite....the first race for many of our runners!
Some positives were....getting to the start line, when coaches are busy with timing the other races...Good job by some of the vets on the team.

Commitment: Being part of the team......WE > ME....I know we had some that "had" to leave early. The team awards are a reflection of everyone on the team and not just those in that race. We all work together. It was disappointing that some of the team just hung out by the tent and did not support the boys that finished 3rd in JV and 3rd in the Varsity division

Keep out on the course too...and cooldown by cheering for your teammates in the other races

After each race, you should cool down with a mile or more just to stay loose and then recover. When we warm up...we should begin 45 minutes before the race. Start with a 10 minute easy run then some leg swings and dynamic drills (together)...Then you have time for individual time - Its a good idea to get in a 2-3 min race pace run...to get the heart rate up. Go to the start line together and get in 2-3 good strides.

FOR LYONS: Bus leaves at 6:45 am so be at school by 6:30. Make sure to bring your bag home on Friday night so you are ready to go in the morning. Fill out the travel log.....pre meet info so we know your travel plans too. Also set some process goals....make the commitment to yourself and to the team

Since it is homecoming day...If you need to leave right after your race (this week)....just sign out. We will have a signout by the tent. The race schedule is posted in this blog and also sent out on Remind

Any questions, please talk to the coaches

Please remember the top practice routine to get better is consistency...Which means...be at practice everyday......make that your commitment! Homework, meetings, appointments should be rare and not reasons to miss practice.....Please communicate when you must miss practice. Some of you do this well by making up the run early...thank you!

We will also have picture day next week on Tuesday!

Good Better Best.
The long blue line.........Go Titans...Go XC.....Go Legend!!!
