Cardinal Cup, Team Time Trial

Congratulations to the White Team for winning tonight.  With a tie with the Black Team, I had to go to overall time, and it came down to a difference of 13 seconds. 
Results for tonight's Cardinal Cup, the 2 mile team time trial, are now posted on the right side of the page.  I have two different pages published, one with just times and team scores, the second one with times/pace/projected 5K time.
Many positives tonight, especially with the times.  After the race I went back out and remeasured the course and it came out to 2.02 miles.  Technology still could be off, but it was a definite positive when one looks at how close our 2-6 runners were, and the two other groups that were just as close.  Group running is so much easier than trying to do it by oneself, so if the boys can keep working within those groups, they should be able to help and push each other. But, we are not going to let what the projected times are get to our heads, because there is a difference between a 2 mile and a 5K.  But, there are things we can work on and improve, and we will continue to work on those areas.
If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks

Week Ahead

Here a few things to be aware of as we begin the 2nd week of practice.

1. AM practices will be held on Mon-Thurs, starting at 8:00 am, with Monday's practice being at Bunker. A schedule has been sent out, but if you have not seen it, we will be at the CR Dam on Tues and Thurs morning, and at the High School on Wednesday.

2. PM practices will be at 7:00pm on Mon-Wednesday at the High School

3. Thursday morning is our first time trial, but this is during the AM practice, so this is more like a practice.  The Parent Meeting and Team Time Trial will be the following Thursday, one week later than in past years.  Runners will get lettering points for this though.

4. Running Camp is Friday and we are planning on leaving around noon.  We will be camping at Wm O'Brien State Park in Marine on St Croix, with a cost of $10, and a list of items to be bring will be sent home on Monday.  But, runners can still go and I would like to know as soon as possible this week so I can plan dinners accordingly.  Also, parents are welcomed to come along, plus we do still need a few to help with driving.  You can stay with us if you drive, but you don't have to if you are not wanting.

If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know or if you would like to come to camp with us.

Thanks,

Denny
