Monday June 27 - Corner Canyon meet at Hillcrest at 6 am for the caravan or at Orson Smith Park at 6:25
Tuesday June 28 - meet at Hillcrest 6 am - tennis courts run then strength work
During the moratorium, maintain your fitness level so the first day back as a group next week won't be a shock to your system.
With lightning in the forecast, the run scheduled for this morning has been postponed until 2 pm and moved to Hillcrest.
This will be our last full week of camp before the UHSAA summer moratorium.
We will be continuing with doubles this week. The second run is a recovery run and is a maximum 30 minutes long. The purpose of the 2nd run is to give a little extra recovery for our kids doing higher mileage totals. This run is optional for our beginning runners. If a beginning runner want to add these runs, it should probably be a walk or bike ride to start.
The link to camp registration is now live. We still have a few participants who haven't registered.
If you haven't completed and turned in the yellow assumption of risk forms, please do that immediately. If you need on, it can be picked up at practice.

As we continue with our summer XC camp experience, make sure you are taking care of your body. You need to eat enough protein and carbs to fuel your body through the training of the summer. The amount of calories is dependent on your size and miles totals, so fuel up. You probably need to eat a little more than you think you do. Hydration is also crucial. A good rule of thumb is drink half of your body weight as a starting point. So if you are 150 lbs, you should be drinking about 75 ounces of fluid a day, or more. Some of you will need to drink more than that.

Schedule for the week:
Tuesday May 31 Ghostrider - meet at Hillcrest at 6 am park in the gym parking lot NW west of the building. At 6:05, we will go down to the football field to start our warm-up routine. After the run, we will be going up to the weight room to do leg and core strengthening exercises. We will probably be done around 8:15. Some of the warm up drills involve being on your hands and knees, so you will want to have a small mat or towel for when you don't have a nice football field to warm up on.

Mileage shirts - In order to earn a summer mileage shirt, the high school runners need to hit 400 or more miles during our 11 week tracking period, the younger runners need to hit 275 or more.
High School mileage goal - 36.36 miles is the weekly average you need to hit for the summer - Varsity runners should be averaging more than this
Middle School mileage goal - 25 miles is the weekly average you need to hit for the summer
Most of you will be a little less than that average for the first few weeks then your mileage will naturally build as we go through the summer
