Spring Break Practice Details

Great racing yesterday by everyone, we posted some really impressive times. I will get those results up as soon as I can, but for now, here is the low-down on Spring Break practices.

Monday: An optional practice, we will meet at Sierra MS at 9:00 am. Weather looks horrible, so dress well. We will do at least ten 3-minute Eggs. Wear sturdy shoes, we will be running on the best running trail in Colorado!

Tuesday: This is a recovery day, a 45-60 minute easy run on your own. We will not meet as a team, but try to meet up with a small group to run with. The varsity line-ups will be posted here on the blog by then as well.

Wednesday: Again we will meet at Sierra at 9:00 in the morning. Again this is optional. Then we will carpool up to Mackenzie Hirsch's place back behind Ponderosa Hills. She has a 3 mile community trail and we will use that to do a long overdistance run. Bring dry clothes to change into afterward, this will be a long hard day!

A note on optional. There has never been a successful person in any field who saw the oppurtunity to work as optional. In order to be great, you must work harder than anyone else, and that means you treat every practice as definitely, not optional.

Thursday & Friday: These practices are mandatory, and we will be at Chaparral instead of Sierra. Thursday will be our typical recovery day, and Friday will be some short speed work to get ready for the meet on Saturday.

Saturday: We head up to Ft. Collins for a big, big, big meet. Bus will leave very early, I am guessing around 5:30. This is a long day, and the distance kids should expect to be very busy!
