Good job the first couple days of school - we kept our numbers strong, added a few new teammates, survived our first lightning warning/school run, and those at Renegade Camp had a great time; and now here we are ready to kick off our official race season this week!
If you haven't done this stuff, please take a look at (and do) the following things:- take a look at the 2022 schedule and start making some plans so you don't miss races.
- ***This has to be done or you can't come to practice*** registermyathlete - Go to registermyathlete.com - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS asap (if not complete, must be scheduled or you can't practice).
Fees must be paid. - If you are not getting our team information texts, text the code "@xcchamps" to 81010
- If you don't have a uniform yet, we will get those Monday afternoon
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We will continue to be cautious on our afternoon minutes, as we build up to the heat, but we will also be pushing ourselves a bit. So we'll leave this info up from last week: It is important that you are taking good care of your body and mind right now: get enough sleep (should be shooting for 8-9 hours a night; if you're not there yet, try and increase your sleep by 10-15mins a night until you can reap the mental and physical benefits of a full night's sleep), hydrate, roll, ice, and also don't get too down on yourself if you feel fatigued - these transitions (like going to back to school) are tough on us - just be patient and take care of yourself and encourage teammates to do the same.
ALWAYS WEAR WHITE OR BRIGHT TO AM PRACTICES
This Week's Schedule:
Monday: AM - 6:00a long run at PVHS (Black, Silver required; Maroon optional) / Afternoon - regular practice at 3:00p PVHS (everyone), we will meet in the Lecture Hall.
Info about Mondays: Monday morning is often a long run. Black and Silver level athletes have committed to be there; Maroons have the option of doing the long run in the morning or having the minutes built into the week, so the am run is optional for them. Everyone should be to afternoon practice. We will start with a team meeting in and then practice. Maroons who ran in the morning will have SAMS and drills.
Tuesday: AM - 6:15a Weights and short run PVHS (Black, Silver required; Maroon optional) / Afternoon - regular practice at 3:00p PVHS (everyone)
Wednesday: AM - 6:15a regeneration run PVHS (Black required; Silver optional; no Maroon; no Freshmen), Yoga at 6:45a everyone invited / Afternoon - regular practice at 3:00p PVHS (everyone)
Thursday: AM - 6:15a Weights and short run PVHS (Black, Silver required; Maroon optional) / Afternoon - regular practice at 3:00p PVHS (everyone)

Race Report:
Desert Relays - The team ran very well at the 9th annual Desert Relays. The girls swept the individual awards with Brook winning the 1st Leg, Adri the 2nd, and Katie the 3rd. In fact the girls went 1st and 2nd in each leg. The team results were very close with DH taking the win with a little better scoring in the later teams by a score of 28-29. The boys showed great improvement and ran much closer to DH than last year. Trey won Leg 1. Bridger was just 2 seconds off a Leg 2 win, and Diego also placed 2nd (in Leg 3). Full results for all our races can always be found at athletic.net

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."
"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."
-John Steinbeck
Pretty applicable thought to almost anything by the greatest American writer (my humble opinion). Very often, our drive to be perfect holds us back. Maybe we are afraid that we won't do our best, or maybe we're worried about others doing better than us. Or whatever... Often we're so fixated on having to be perfect that we aren't able to get in there and do something. Instead, just go do your best, whatever that is for that moment; go do good. Not only will you be surprised to find that trying to do your best instead of being perfect will help you relax and find more confidence and enjoyment, it will often lead to you actually doing a lot better than you thought you could because you're getting out of your own way. As we approach our first full XC race on Wednesday, be mindful of your thinking and set goals to just get out there and do good rather than having to be perfect.
