The first week of the 2013 cross country season went very well! We have gotten the new runners into the routine of practice and they are getting to know everyone. Some of the new runners have even braved jumping into the ice bath after runs, others have only lasted about a minute before deciding its too cold for them! Our first full team speed workout of Run-Bike-Run went very well at Lincoln Park. All 55 that started the workout finished the workout, it was great to see no one give up, and working hard. There were a lot of smiles afterward feeling the success of knowing they worked hard.
Week 2 is always one of the busiest weeks of the season. It looks like we are going to have our first days in the mid 90's on Monday and Tuesday. So the coaches are making adjustments to the workouts already and have moved our speed workout to Wednesday when it is supposed to be cooler. Wednesday is the first day of school for our 7th to 9th graders, and 10th-11th join them on Thursday. Thursday, at 6pm, at Lincoln Park is our family night BBQ. It is also our parents meeting after we eat, allowing the parents a chance to meet the coaches and ask questions. We will also be handing out our order forms for XC clothing.
Saturday finally brings our first meet of the season at Hillsboro, 10am, Aug 24th. The runners that have run all summer are super excited to see how much they have improved after all their hard work this summer. The new runners will get a chance to experience their first meet. There will be some very good teams at the first meet, Hillsboro Girls (#1 in class B), Fargo South Girls (#4 Class A), Fargo Davis Girls (#2 Class A), and Fargo Davis Boys (#2 Class A). Along with those ranked teams there will be several top 10 runners in both Class A, Class B, from both the boys and girls teams.
