Sweat Equity

Sweat was abounding with today's heat, but the team was up to the task and developed some mental and physical toughness through it all.  This team is not going to get better by shying away from even the worst of conditions, and we must be prepared.  After all, if the Sectional were held on a day like today, we'd be running regardless (except for a thunderstorm).  So, we've got to be prepared for anything and everything. We were pleased with the overall effort of our 5th and final exhibition meet, as we turn our sights towards Dawson Lake, our first gauge of success for the season.

I know the team is looking forward to the meet and is excited about posting some great times.  The coaching staff is of the opinion that this group will earn everything it can get, so we are all anxious for Thursday.  I know the focus for the last few days has been towards this particular meet, as the kids have been talking about it quite a bit.  I'm anticipating a very focused and determined group for the remainder of the week.  After all, if we can run in today's conditions, and perform reasonably well, imagine what we can do with much more favorable weather on a "fast track".  ZOOM, away we go!!!!

One more day of heat to contend with, so we'll enjoy a reasonably tough fartlek style workout on the hill tomorrow, with sprinklers blasting away!!
