Aug. 8-13 (Week 10)

Another great week down. It was great to see our numbers back up and to feel the excitement as the season is getting into full swing. We had a very strong time trial at the Bloomington Hills North Park on Monday morning and that energy continued throughout the week. As we head into this transition from summer to the school year and to our first races, please check out all the info below:

If you haven't done this stuff, please take a look at (and do) the following things:

Here is our Spirit Pack order... Nothing on this is required. Our uniforms are separate (those posted are practice gear); this is gear for athletes, families, friends, supporters to show PVXC pride! The order is through a separate company than PVXC or PVHS, so questions and concerns should go through them. Order is due by Saturday, August 13th.
take a look at the 2022 schedule and start making some plans so you don't miss races.
GET THIS DONE!!!! registermyathlete - This has to be finished by the beginning of school. Go to registermyathlete.com (the registration part needs to be done this week) if you haven't - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS asap.
Fees will need to be paid by the beginning of school.

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We continue our SWEP phase with some important workouts this week, but we will also try to set things up so that the end of the week and early next week allows for recovery to the transition into school and also more afternoon practices. 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.
