Preparing for the Foot of the Rockies Invite

This Saturday, we have another early morning departure, and another late evening arrival back in Parker. It is the Foot of the Rockies Invite, and we usually do very well at this venue. Instead of a lot of good schools to compete against from the Springs, we have a lot of good schools to compete against from Ft. Collins.

Here are the distance varsity line-ups for that meet. As you can tell, there are spots that are up for discussion from the coaches. We can inform you about these updates on Tuesday. If you are not going to the varsity meet, you will be competing at the JV meet at C.H.S on Thursday.

The general plan for the week is to run pretty easy and recover from three hard weeks of training and racing. Monday will be a game day, Tuesday is a short easy run. Wednesday will be our only real speed day of the week, as we will be doing our first session of pace intervals. Thursday is another short easy run, and Friday will be some short speed work to wake our legs up.

Remember to keep eating well, drinking well and sleeping well, or you won't get any stronger. This week is designed to help you, but if you don't help yourself (at the dinner table, at the water fountain) then this week will be a waste. Just because the work-outs are easy does not mean you should slack off on your hydrtion, nutrition and sleep habits!!!

Also, on Monday, we will announce who has qualified for Mt. SAC. We have a big contignet going, it should be exciting and fun!
