Hey team,
What a way to end the
3rd week of the season!
Did I just say 3rd
week? I told it was
going to fly.
So if you missed the
time trial today, I'm
sorry but it was
amazing. Almost felt
like a real race out
there. Athletes, you
did amazing! Thanks to
coach Alan for timing
and the results are
already posted on our
website in the cross
country page on the
right hand side.
All who raced, please
replay it in your mind
and ask yourself: what
is one thing I can do
next time to improve?
Elijah told me after
that he felt great and
could have ran harder.
Maybe next race for the
youth boys up front that
translates to another 10
seconds off!! Maybe you
took off slower than you
should have or you had
too much energy at the
end or you really
relaxed too much in the
middle of the race.
Whatever it is, never
stop evaluating and
learning. Even the best
in the world will
re-evaluate their
stride, their start,
their kick and
everything in between.
Don't forget about
nutrition and what you
ate this morning. All
of these, when
fine-tuned, will help
you be the best runner
you can be forever!
I've heard some parent
comments stating their
kids experienced "the
light bulb" moment this
last week at practice.
I told you it would come
and I'm so glad that
some of you who were on
the fence with
continuing stuck it
out. This is a very
difficult and
challenging sport,
but.... It is one of the
most rewarding sports.
And don't forget that
your persistence in
training and racing will
translate to every
aspect of your life.
Runners are not
quitters, we are
leaders!
Alright enough of my
soap box... I'm excited
if you can't tell. Keep
up the good work.
This coming week will
bring a new level of
intensity. My challenge
to everyone from group
1, 2, 2b, and 3 is to
bring you're A-game. Be
prepared to challenge
your mind and body to
achieve a new level in
your fitness. The fun
has only begun and you
guys will be ready for
competition soon.
I'm proud of you, thanks
to all of you parents
and great families, and
a special thanks to our
coaches!
The support is amazing
and we couldn't have an
awesome program without
all of you!
Thank you,
Coach Jeremy
