Week Five

Another exiting week behind us! The team ran with guts and heart this weekend, we are so proud. We witnessed some memorable finishes, great racing and wonderful examples of good sportsmanship! Please read below for important notes on this upcoming week.

Reminders

  • Watch with stopwatch function will be helpful for the remainder of the season.
  • Shirts should be in this week, payment must be submitted if not already done. If you have questions on this please let me know. Thanks!

Nutrition

  • Please help us by encouraging and helping your runner replenish nutrients lost during running. As the season gets rolling, it is crucial to replenish and keep our bodies strong. Strong bodies that eat enough are injured less, and have resources to give during hard efforts.
