Ladies,
It's not far off now. This week is the Ted Fox Invite. It's an important meet for us, because it's the last time we get to run our course before Sectional and Regional. We want to also see how our rivals will run, what kind of shape they are in, and how we compare.
We haven't run our course a bunch this year. I've avoided it mainly because of how the last two years have gone. I'm trying hard to get you all to the finish of the season in one piece and still have enough training to race well. I'm rolling the dice on this one; I'm gambling we will get more out of you by going for quality rather than quantity (and hills).
It's worked so far. We've had some huge drops. I also think there are more to come. Tomorrow we do intervals, and they will be challenging. Don't be afraid; look forward to it. The more you can accomplish there, the more you can accomplish at a race. There is a connection. Make the most of the opportunity!
The rest of the week we'll run at Milwaukee. We have too many people nicked up to stay on the course. Right or wrong, that's my call. Wednesday won't be as hard as last Wednesday, that I promise. It'll be quality, just not as intense.
Thursday and Friday will be rest days. Saturday is race day. Simple.
Take care of icing painful areas. Stretch! Remember, that little bit of maintenance you do at home can make all the difference at practice and/or meets.
