A Snappy Workout

I told the team yesterday that we would be done by about 4:30 today, and I was just about 2 minutes off, according to my watch.

We discussed tomorrow's meet, all the differences we'll have to deal with:  1.  A 5th/6th grade race for boys and girls running all at the same time.  2.  A 7th/8th grade race for boys and girls running at the same time. 3.  Warming up together in those groups. 4. Where a "bib" with a computer chip in it, that will electronically record places and times of each athlete as they cross the finish line.  5.  The awards ceremony after the event.

The team then practiced warming up in those groupings for tomorrow's race, including drills and strides.  We then did a light 5 minute run then ran 10 x 100 meter strides at race pace, followed by another 10 minute light run through "Narnia", at least this is what the team calls it.

And of course, the best part was the giant tootsie rolls I had for each of them after practice.

So, tomorrow is the next MAIN THING.  It is my hope that we are focused on the task at hand and put down some excellent performances.  Physically, we are ready.  Now, we have to prepare our minds for tomorrow's challenge.  I know we will perform very well.
