Hey folks, we have some exciting weeks coming up. I am very excited for a fun week where we get to focus our attention on the varsity for a fun race at Hyland, then turn our attention to the JV team for a fun day at Elm Creek racing 5ks. You are all ready for some great racing this week! You have put in a long season of work and dedication and now we get to celebrate all that work for the next 3 weeks.
Also, when we go into tough races, like tough times in life, we want to keep our eyes up and looking around us. Keep your eyes open to how to can encourage those around you, and how you can best work together to maximize your opportunities. Lean on each other. If you need a helping hand, ask your teammates and coaches. If you can give a helping hand, keep your eyes open to how you can serve those around you.
Here are a few reminders as we get into the fun week of competition.
1. Conference meet - varsity folks need to reread all the details for tuesday; there are a lot of moving parts. You need to have your uniform. You need to wear a legal hat, You need to be there an hour and a half before your race. You need to get your skis to the coaches. You need to let us know if you are not able to race so we can replace you if needed. You need to make sure that you have enough food and drinks for the day and get some sleep the night before. And lastly, you need to be ready to have fun and enjoy the day tomorrow.
2. JV Conference - You get to choose if you skate or classic. Fill out the googleform in the teamfeed to let us know which you plan to do (will post in a minute). Then you can just be ready for your race on thursday. Make sure to get a good warm up in.
