We are so proud of Samm, Megan, and Maureen for their performance in the Huntington Sprint Triathlon!

Thank you Coach Sara!

Today was the last brick workout with Coach Sara and you all did an excellent job! It's really been amazing to see how you've all improved since the beginning of June. You should be very proud of the miles you've put in on the bike, and know that the cross training you've done will make you so much stronger and faster on race day! Thank you Coach Sara for making us all more knowledgeable about triathlons and what it means to be a multi-sport athlete. We really appreciate all the time you've spent with us!

Girls that are competing in the Huntington Sprint Triathlon on Sunday (7/25) please be sure to have your bike, helmet, water/gatorade, shoes, and goggles ready to go for the big race! Coach Sara will meet you by the Playhouse at 7:00AM to get you all ready before the swim, bike, and run! Good luck to all triathletes!

Everyone else...get ready to cheer for the girls and Coach Sara! Signs and noisemakers are encouraged!

Important Reminders:

Bring a beach towel to practice tommorrow for our stretch/core workout after hills ; )

Madison's Last Day in Bay!

Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to one of our most talented runners and spirited team members tomorrow. Madison is moving to California, but we will stay in touch and run together again next summer when she is back in Cleveland.

Madison we will miss you so much, and wish you the very best at your new school and with your new team! Please keep us updated on your running and what life is like on the west coast. This season won't be the same without you!

Best of luck to you Madison!

Sweaty Saturday

Nice job this morning ladies! It was a hot one, but you stuck it out and finished almost 7 miles nice and strong! All that hard work was rewarded by a a refreshing dip in beautiful Lake Erie ; ) Make sure you drink lots of water and get some protein in for lunch...and enjoy your day off tomorrow!

We can't stress enough to all of you how important it is to get 6 days a week of running in this summer. You are working so hard during the week, make sure to go the extra mile with the team (if you are in town)on the weekend! And for all the vacationers: make sure you stay on track with your training program (schedule is attached to the right). The people who stay dedicated in the summer months experience the most success in the fall.

This is going to be a great season, we can't wait to see you all run fast!

Reminders:
- Register for Huntington Triathlon
- Race for Mr. Dickinson on 7/31 (Cahoon Park)
- Print out/send in registration for Classic at Mastick 8/11
- Mohican Campout is Sunday 8/8 - Tuesday 8/10

Triathlon Time!

It's been an eventful summer full of bricks, spinning, and of course lots of quality running. If you are planning to compete in the Huntington Sprint Triathlon, please make sure you are registered! The race is Sunday, July 25th which is quickly approaching!

Please let us know if you have any questions for tri-Coach Sara or for us regarding the big race! You have worked hard to prepare, and you are not only ready for the race but better prepared for another successful cross country season!

We are so proud of you! Now get registered, you can use the link to the right ; )

Bay Days!

You all did a great job today running the Bay Days course, now we are ready to really push it on Sunday (even with the heat!).

Remember: The Bay Days race is on SUNDAY (7/4) at 8:30am, and we are meeting at the canopy doors at 7:30am in order to warm-up, stretch, and be ready for the big race! Be sure to wear Bay red, white, and blue!

Tomorrow you have the option of cross-training at the Ride & Workout (please register online and bring a TOWEL and WATER) or biking around Bay. If you are going to carpool to spinning please meet at the high school at 6:45am. If you are not spinning, please meet the rest of the girls at the high school canopy doors at 8:30am. ***We will be meeting at the high school until Monday - in order to avoid the carnival ; )***

Saturday is a Captain's practice, and again you will be meeting at the high school canopy doors. Westerly run would be perfect for the 16 of you running in Bay Days (good idea Leilah!). Everyone else should go a little longer if possible.

Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday! It's going to be hot for Sunday's race, you must be hydrated to perform well. We are so proud of the work you have already put in, now make sure you give your body the fuel it needs to run fast!
