What a great first day of Summer training as we had 50-55 athletes show up this morning. Everyone put in a solid effort and some probably ran farther than they ever have in their life! Keep up the good work.
Friday Runs - to change things up a little and to let the athletes do a run that's not so hilly, we will be meeting on Fridays at the Carson Nature Center located on the South Platte Trail just behind Aspen Grove. We will meet at the same time 7:45 a.m. Directions are on the Summer Training calender under the "Summer Training" page on this site.
Important Summer Dates:
July 8 - Boulder/Mesa Trail Run - This is our annual run on Mesa Trail and Ice cream to follow on the Pearl St Mall. We will meet at RCHS at 5:00 p.m. and then carpool to Boulder. We could use Parent help with carpooling, so if you interested in helping drive, please email Coach Davies.
Winter Park High Altitude Camp - We will be holding our 3rd annual Winter Park Camp on July 23-25. All athletes are invited. Cost to athletes is 75.00 which covers almost everything ( Condos, Transportation and Meals). Athletes would only need money for movies, bowling, snacks. We need to reserve Condos soon, therefore we are asking athletes to commit by July 1. Checks can be made out to RCHS Cross Country. Please let Coach Davies know if you plan on attending.
Dillon Dam Run - We will be doing our 3rd annual Dillon Dam run on Saturday August 1. We will meet at 7 a.m. at RCHS to carpool to Dillon. We usually have a couple of parents help with aid stations on this long run. After the run we have brakfast in Dillon. I fyou interested in helping out, please email Coach Davies.
Training Logs - We would like for all runners to keep track of their milage this summer. Each week I will list the distance of the runs on the blog, so you can track your mileage. We are looking at a couple of electonic programs that we might use, but need to weigh the costs before deciding. For this week you could use possibly google calendar or whatever works best for you.
