Purpose of the week's workouts - We continue our SWEP phase of our training. This week will be very busy, so we will outline it here and below. On Monday we have our time trial at Bloomington Hills North Park (there are a couple different entrances to the park, I would suggest taking Vermillion off of Fort Pierce and parking in the small parking lot within the park). Practice will start (at the park) at 7:00a and we will begin the race at approx. 7:45 (parents are invited to come cheer). Bring your race shoes (xc spikes) to change into if you have them. Tuesday we will meet for a trail run (location TBA) at 7:00a. Weds.through Friday we will meet at PVHS at 7:00a. We will also have afternoon practice as a team on Tuesday and Thursday - we highly recommend you start doing some afternoon running to acclimate to the heat. Wednesday evening at 7:15 is team night at the St. George Running Center - food, prizes, discounts on shoes. On Friday evening we have a race - 6:00p at Bloomington Hills North Park. This race is a relay with DH were each runner on our team will run about a mile on a 3 person relay team. We really need everyone to be there. And finally, on Saturday, we have our car wash. Get selling your car wash tickets to fundraise for any of your XC costs. We will meet as a team at the Bubble Bath Car Wash at 8:00a on Saturday for our run and then we will do the car wash from 10:00a-2:00p.

Thought of the Week: "Losers assemble in little groups and complain... but winners assemble as a team."
-Bill Parcells
Sometimes athletes and/or parents wonder why we do so much as a team. This week is a great example; we are so busy - and on the last week of summer. Why? Well because of this quote. Teams that want to be successful and build a positive culture spend time together. Those that were at camp, think of all the great things we did together: the classes, hiding from the rain, sleeping in vans or a stinky "hype" tent, long hill runs, crazy trail runs, playing games, sharing xcestimonies... all these things we do together create a bond that can't be broken. So we are going to keep doing tons of team things, and we encourage everyone to avoid those little groups that pull away and complain about things.
