School is HERE!!!

Phoenix nation.....

Great first meet at Highland on Friday. I thought we had a great first meet with a good showing and hopefully things we learned. If you haven't already, reflect back on Friday to your race and I want you to think of things you thought you did well and things you could have improved (water intake before, sleep, going out too fast, not fast enough etc.). Those of you who missed the race, we missed you but we have a busy week coming up.

Hopefully you all had fun at the team dinner last week. A big Thanks to all who helped with the team dinner (Mitchell, Mietus, DiReda, Wall, & Martineau Families). This week's team dinner will be at the Neuenschwander home (707 W. Pegasus Drive - Kaysville) @ 6 PM. Bring $3! If you haven't signed up yet to help out but would still like to go HERE and find an open slot to help out. Thanks!

This week is going to be busy with school starting and the fact that we have 2 meets the same week (this is the only time we will have 2 in one week). So please make sure you are staying hydrated and are getting some good sleep. Here is the schedule:

Monday August 20th: 3:10 PM @ Farmington High School @ the track

Tuesday August 21st: 3:15 PM @ Barnes Park (950 W 200 N - Kaysville)

Spike Night @ Wasatch Running Center (Centerville). Come in to Wasatch running any time today to get a discount. The actual "Spike Night" will run from 6 PM-8 PM on Tuesday night. If you need spikes and you pay in cash you will receive a 20% discount (if you pay in cash you can actually get 20% off anything in the store). If you don't pay in cash but pay with a card you can still get 20% but you will need to buy a pair of running shoes and spikes. This is optional but a great opportunity if you would like some racing spikes. Thanks!!
