week of aug 11th

Week of August 11^th…

There is a LOT going on this week, much of it from the A.D. – early season mandatory meetings and such so please do your best to be available.

Also, long range heads-up…instead of the traditional fall sports “picnic”, this year the boosters would like to have a mass and brunch at 9:30 on Sunday, August 24^th.  If you can attend, it would certainly be good for the sports program and for cc in specific.

Monday, August 11^th – 8:00-9:45am.  Mastick.  2000m time trial day.  I really need everyone to be here for this!!!

Monday, August 11^th – 6:00pm.  Picture day.  Bring your uniform and remember to bring proper socks, shoes, and shorts (all black!).  Order forms will be passed out Monday a.m. at practice.  If you didn’t get a uniform you’ll get one Monday night.  We are the second team in the order – when we’re done you can go home.  Probably around 7:00pm.

Tuesday, August 12^th – 8:00-9:30am.  Mastick.  Mileage day like last Tuesday and Friday.

Wednesday, August 13^th – 8:00-9:30am.  SJA.  Cross training day.

Thursday, August 14^th – 8:00-9:45am.  Memorial Field (in Rocky River Reservation).  Workout day – bring spikes to do the last repeat in.

Thursday, August 14^th – 7:00pm – MANDATORY parent OHSAA meeting at SJA.  ALL parents from all high schools are required to attend these meetings (this isn’t just an SJA thing).

Friday, August 15^th – 9:00am-5:00pm.  Canoe run day.  They open at 10:00am, so our bus leaves SJA at 9:00am.  We will go to Canal Fulton Canoe livery http://www.canalfultoncanoelivery.com/

They have a waver to sign that will be passed out this week.

The runners will canoe downstream then run back along the river on a towpath (about 5 miles).  If the athlete isn’t able to run 5 miles for some reason then she can ride back on a van and run from the picnic area).

After the run we will eat and have a short “team camp” to discuss a variety of topics.  The goal is to leave Canal Fulton just before 4:00pm and be back at SJA by 5:00pm.

For the picnic I will provide plates, cups, plasticware, etc…I will also provide hot dogs, buns, and condiments.  Bring anything else you may need specifically for your own diet.

Seniors:  you are assigned nothing – you’re seniors so we’ll revere you for the day.  However you may bring something if you so choose.

Juniors and frosh: please bring side dishes

Sophomores last name A-K – bring some fruit please

Sophomores last name L-Z – bring a dessert that is less healthy than fruit

Saturday and Sunday – last weekend without a meet, so you are again asked to train on your own.  Stay healthy, sleep well, and eat properly (other than the hot dogs and non-fruit desserts on Friday).
