Week 5 - 7/17 - 7/23

With Cultus Camp just 3 weeks out and our first race a little over a month away, its time to start preparing.  We will begin easing into harder workouts next week and continue increasing weekly mileage.  Please keep in mind that only athletes that are running on a regular basis throughout the summer will be allowed to compete in our first race at Breese Ranch in an effort to minimize injuries.  If you're hoping to compete at Breese Ranch and you haven't been running this summer, its time to start!  

For those that are interested we will also be doing a group Mountain Bike Ride on Wednesday evening.  Meet at the Mountain View bus loop at 3:30pm and we should return by 6:30pm.  Bring a Mountain Bike and Helmet.  If any parents are interested in helping drive and ride with the group you are welcome to attend.

Here is our schedule for the week:   

Practice Schedule

Monday – Meet at Drake Park at 8:30 am - Sawyer Park / Around and Up Awbrey (4 or 7 miles)

Our annual team summer camp is scheduled for August 3rd-6th.  We have setup online payments through touchbase so you can signup now.  The camp waiver is attached to this email for you to print and turn in at practice.  Our goal is to have every athlete on the team attend Cultus Camp.  If cost is an issue let me know and we can find a way for athletes to earn a portion or all of their entry fee.
