Weekly Schedule & Arizona Check

What a great week of practice, so good, that we are going to do pretty much the same thing again.  Check the sidebar to see all the details.

Two weeks from tonight, we will be arriving home from a successful trip to Arizona for the Nike Cross Nationals Race.  Wow, it seemed like just a couple of days ago we were months from leaving, but the time is upon us.

Please double check your airline confirmations.  Hopefully most of us are flying Frontier Airlines #855 to Phoenix on Nov. 21st at 7:00 am.  Hopefully most of us are coming back on Frontier Airlines # 852 on Nov 23rd that lands in Denver at 11:23.  If you are not on these flights, let me know ASAP so we can arrange to get you to and from our hotel.  I am not sure about all of the restrictions on checked baggage and everything, but I would suggest packing light.  I can't see anyone needing anything more than a carry-on packed very tightly.  Just make sure to not forget your racing flats and your 80134 singlet.  Anything else that is forgotten can be dealt with in Phoenix.

The hotel we are staying at, (girl athletes in one room, boy athletes in another) is the Residence Inn at the Phoenix Airport.  The phone number there is 1-602-273-9220.   We are all set for check-in there, (thanks Krisi !!!), so that will be the home base.

Almost everything is paid for, you will just need to bring spending money.  As we decided earlier, I am going to pay for everything, then split up the costs when we get back to Parker.  We are all signed up for the race, and I have all print-outs and emergency forms already packed.  Just double check you travel arrangements, figure out how you are getting to and from DIA, and get ready for a great week of practice!!

P.S.  An informal description of the course was written by Coach Versaw of The Classical Academy.  You can check it out on his website here.  The second to last paragraph was very interesting, I thought.
