Banana Relays

We zipped through a fun, light practice tonight with a team favorite, the Banana Relays.  It's always been interesting to me to watch how some teams "protect" their banana from the elements of hand off after hand off, while others throw caution to the wind and end up with only a fragment of a peel at the conclusion of the run.  And of course, we "judge" which team as the best looking banana afterwards to declare the relay winner.  It's all in fun and the kids to enjoy the event.

Of course, they were all more interested in the school dance, so we tried to have them out of practice in plenty of time to get ready.  It all worked out well.

We discussed our training for the next couple of weeks and what to expect, with our eye set on September 27 as our next BIG race.  Yes, we have 3 races in between, but THE MAIN THING is September 27.  Those other races just help to get us there!!!  Simple concept.

We reminded everyone of their responsibility to get mileage in during the course of the weekend.  Gosh, it's hard to believe we have now reached the half way point in the season.  It does go fast.
