Thanks everyone for the tremendous camp! Parents who drove, those who stayed and chaperoned, coaches, and especially athletes. The last couple years of camp have been amazing and really show the direction our team is headed. Great job captains and others who led classes and organized events. The best thing about camp is how our team can take time to just be with each other and bond (and of course have Pig Nos dominate to a volleyball title!). Now, like so many of you said, let's keep the ball rolling. Continue to grow your commitment to each other and to your own running. Continue to look for individuals you can reach out to and invite to come be part of our team.
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: Click here for a link to this week's workouts (you have to request access on your school account to see the workouts). We have a couple more weeks of our Foundation Phase. This is where we are really building a lot of minutes and a super aerobic base complimented with workouts that prepare us for racing. This week we get the chance to get our first racing in at our 24th 2 Miler. We invite friends and family to join us (see info below), and athletes you are expected to be there (unless you're out of town). We know that sometimes we are a little nervous to race and that makes us hesitant to show up, but these first couple races are very low-key and built around what racing should always be... fun. Come learn to race while there is no pressure and we are still building toward the full XC distance.
Thanks to those who have been keeping up your minutes each week. Entering your minutes each week is another sign of you commitment to the team and your own individual goals. Click here and track your minutes from Week 7: Weekly Minutes.

PVXC Thought of the Week: "Good thoughts have much to do with good rowing. It isn't enough for the muscles of a crew to work in unison; their hearts and minds must also be one."
-George Pocock, Boys in the Boat
Questions for you to think about: why is this so important (what the quote says)? How do we at PVXC try to do this? How are you doing at this? How can we get everyone to do this?
