Dear Alan,
Team,
Well I have to admit this
email comes with some
sadness. Excitement for the
start of the 2011 Cross
Country season, but summer
is just about gone! Can we
get a rewind of that
please?
Anyway, I hope you have had
a great summer, I know my
family has enjoyed being
outside, going to the beach
and relaxing a little.
Ok, well onto the season.
Cross Country is here and I
hope you are excited. I
know we have a lot of new
faces out there and I trust
you who are converting from
track are going to enjoy it.
First things first, practice
starts this coming Monday
night. That's August 1st.
There are some key's to the
season as we begin:
1. Bring an
electrolyte drink. It will
be warm and if you haven't
been outside in the heat, it
will take a little getting
used to.
2. Drink during the
day to prepare for
practice. Water is key and
30-60 minutes before you
come to practice drink a
glass of an electrolyte
something like Gatorade.
This will prepare your body
for working out.
3. Come ready to work
hard and have fun!!
There are some of you who
have been running through
the summer which is great.
We'll identify those of you
and for sure start you off
at your in shape ability.
Others who are new to Cross
Country or have been
relaxing this summer, don't
worry, we won't kill you in
the first couple weeks. We
have a long season and there
is plenty of time to get you
in shape and ready to race.
My goal is that each of you
make it to the end of the
season, injury free, having
fun, and racing well!
Ok, that's it for the first
installment. There will be
plenty more of these emails
in the future.
Please feel free to shoot me
an email if you have any
questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Coach Jeremy |
