Hey Everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend and thank
you for being at practice on Saturday with Coach White. I’m sorry that I
was out sick, but wanted to stay away just in case I was contagious.
=) This week, we have a big meet on Wednesday in Columbia at Heathwood
Hall and will not only get to see the state meet course, but see a few
of the teams that we will be up against for the State meet at the end of
the season. Please note the schedule this week - there is practice on
Monday, no practice Tuesday, big meet on Wednesday, practice on Thursday
and Saturday. I have included a rough itinerary for Wednesday. The
whole team will be traveling to the meet, but only the top 7 will be
running varsity. All others with run JV. Don’t forget to bring the
items on the checklist. On Thursday, we will be back at Jarvis with a
follow-up to our stride analysis from Go-Tri Sports. Saturday, we’re
back over at Pinckney Island again for a nice morning run.

Week 7 Practice Schedule
Hey Everyone,
I don't know about you, but I'm about done with the rain. It was nice to see the wonderful sun and a hint of fall weather come out today and hopefully we'll get some more of that this week. We will have practice on Monday and Tuesday, a likely meet on Wednesday (still to be confirmed) and then you are off the hook until Saturday. We originally weren't going to do the Wednesday meet, but with the meet cancelled last Saturday, this is an important one to get in. Try to run on your own either on Thursday or Friday. Although all practices are important, it's especially important to be early and present for practice Tuesday as Go Tri Sports will be meeting us at Jarvis Creek Park to do a stride analysis. We've never done it before, so it should be pretty neat to see how they can suggest improvements for each runner. Wednesday's meet will take place at Honey Horn and we will depart immediately following school. Let me know if you have any questions. Here's the plan for the week:
Monday, September 22nd
=================
4:00-5:20pm
Medium Distance Run + Interval Workout
Practice @ HHCA
Tuesday, September 23rd
================
4:00-5:30pm
Practice @ Jarvis Creek Park
Be early or on time, special stride analysis with Go Tri Sports
Wednesday, September 24th
==================
Honey Horn Meet vs. Hilton Head High / other Beaufort Co. Schools
Departing at 3:10pm
Meet is from 4-6pm
Saturday, September 27th
================
Medium-Long Distance Run + Hill Workout
Crossings Park
9:30-11:00am
Please note the later practice time

Week 4 Practice Schedule / Updates
Hey Everyone,
It is hard to believe it’s already September and we’re really getting into meet season. I hope that you are all working hard on your own in addition to the workouts we’ve done together in practice.
Here are a few important updates along with our schedule for the week:
• We had a great turnout Saturday at the Run for Ret and meet results are posted here: http://gotrievents.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/RfR_2014RESULTS.htm Great job to our experienced runners and new runners who completed their first 5K! It is a slow and sandy course, but you all did great!
• It is important to have our entire team attend every meet. Students who do not give at least 2 weeks notice of a possible conflict with a meet do not allow us to put our best foot forward and we do not want to pay meet fees for students who do not attend. We paid an extra $60 in registration fees for students who were not able to attend the Run for Ret last minute. Please check the full meet schedule (attached), and let me know well in advance of any possible conflict. The only excused absences are sickness or family emergencies.
• Students who are playing 2 sports need to still complete any missed workouts on their own. This will allow our team to have the proper conditioning to do the best at our meet!
• Uniforms should be here by Friday (hopefully). We will need these for our meet on Saturday. Drop by before the end of school in my room Friday to make sure you have your uniform.
• If you haven’t done so, be sure that you have the proper running shoes. Go to Palmetto Running Company or Go Tri Sports to get the proper footwear that will fit your natural stride. This can make your running experience more comfortable! :)
Here is the practice and meet schedule for this week:
Monday, Sept 1
No Practice - LABOR DAY
Run 3-4 miles on your own
Tuesday, Sept 2
Practice @ 4pm at HHCA
Interval Workout + 3 mile loop
Wednesday, Sept 3

Have a blessed day off! See you this week! =)
