2022 Hillcrest XC Racing Season Week 7 Royal Run

 Saturday was a good day for the team. Almost all of our kids ran personal bests to take advantage of a fast 5K course. If you haven't seen results yet, they can be found on athletic.net along with all our results from the season.

This week will be a challenging week with Homecoming week festivities.  Homecoming can make getting sufficient sleep difficult, so make sure adequate sleep is happening early in the week as Friday nights football game will make things challenging. 

If you notice your energy levels dropping, in addition to getting more sleep, make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D and Iron in your diet.  Endurance athletes typically need more iron than everyone else in the population.
