Change of plans

Hello everyone, 
Looks like this week is going to be cut short due to the statewide mandates put in place. All school sports will have a freeze starting Wednesday 11/18. 
So, that means our time trial scheduled for Friday will be moved to Tuesday (tomorrow) 11/17 at 3:30pm at Phil’s trailhead. It will also be our last practice for the pre-season. I’m sorry we have to end it prematurely, but it is what is. If you can make it tomorrow, awesome! If you can’t, I totally understand. Thanks for being flexible during these crazy times. See you tomorrow!
Go Cougs!

 

Last week of XC pre-season 11/16-11/22

This will be our last week of pre-season practices before we break for winter. As of now we haven’t heard anything on how the new statewide mandates will affect us this week, so we will just continue practices as planned until told otherwise. 

Monday and Wednesday, we will plan on meeting at Mountain View @3:30pm. Friday we will be having a voluntary 5k trail time trial. Since this is an off campus get together, no one is required to attend. If you can make it, awesome! This is simply a fun opportunity to race a 5k on some dirt and end this preseason on a strong note! We will plan on meeting at 3:30pm at the Phil’s trailhead parking area and go from there. Please remember to bring a mask just like you would at practice. We plan to do the time trial in the same time frame a normal practice would last, so please plan accordingly. I know this location isn’t the most convenient option. But with parks being off limits for the team, we had to be creative for a location that would be fun to race a 5k. 

Let’s have a great last week of pre-season training and keep that great work ethic rolling! 

Go Cougs!

Practice 11/13

 

Hey XC crew,
I’m going to go ahead and cancel practice for this afternoon. It’s going to stay nasty all day and we really don’t have a place to meet and stay out of the rain. Since it is a recovery day, no sense in getting you all soaked and cold. If you can get an easy run in on your own that’d be great. Have a good weekend and see you next week!

MVXC 11/9-11/15

Hey everyone,

I hope you all have had a great weekend! Just a little update for the week. For this week’s practices, prepare for colder temps. The forecast for the week looks to be on the chilly side, but not quite as wet as we saw at last Friday’s practice. So, please come to practice prepared for cooler temps and bring layers to throw on after your workout. 

We will continue to meet at Mountain View at 3:30pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday we will have a team 2 mile time trial. This will be a great opportunity to test out the legs, get a little friendly competition in and gauge our fitness level. So, let’s be ready to run fast on Wednesday!

Remember our message from last week. “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” Let’s keep working to be better than we were the day before!

Looking forward to another great week of practices! See you all Monday @ 3:30pm. 

 

Go Cougs!

 

 

 

XC Week 11/2-11/8

Hope you all had a fun and safe weekend! This week we will be shifting our practice start time to 3:30 pm with the evenings getting darker earlier. Practices will still be the same length, ending around 4:45-5pm. Plan to meet at Mountain View Monday, Wednesday and Friday @ 3:30pm.

Please be sure to bring warm clothes to practices. Temps will be dropping in the evenings and you will want to have extra layers for when you aren’t running. Come to practices prepared and willing to work hard. Workouts might not be as intense as they usually would be this time of year, but that  doesn’t mean they are any less important! See you all Monday!
