XC Update- August 4th

This week was a great week for those that were able to go to the Uintah's for our high altitude camp. There was some great running and hiking, of course, and even better, some fun times. For those who couldn't go, here's what you missed: beautiful trail runs, a 23-mile run/hike to Red Castle Lake, good food, moose, cold "showers", rope swings, crazy games, and a chance to get to know each other a lot better. I sure had a great time- I hope those attending also enjoyed it. Next year, I hope we have as many at the camp as Davis had this year- that's the goal.

TEAM workouts this week:
Monday- 7:00 am at the Fernwood Campground trailhead. I'll be at the Syracuse Wal Mart at 6:30 am if you need a ride.
Tuesday- 7:00 am at Layton Commons Park. I have to be in Heber City for some school meetings. If the schedule is such that I can't make it back, Coach Talley from Davis will be there to run the workout.
Thursday- 7:00 am at Syracuse High.

On Saturday, August 18th, we will run the Dart Challenge in Kaysville. It's a 5k road race. Anyone can run it- your parents, brothers, sisters, anyone. It's a fun race. If you just want to run the race, I will cover the entry fee. If you want breakfast and a t-shirt, it will cost you some $$$. I'll send out the information in a few days.

The first "real" Syracuse Cross Country meet is actually scheduled for the first day of school (August 29th). It's the pre-region meet at Layton Commons Park. All of the region one teams will be competing. Hopefully, we will be able to field a full team by that time.

Try to make it to the scheduled workouts. I know I've talked to several of you that have conflicts and you are doing the workouts on your own. Please keep me posted as to how they are going. EVERYONE: get the mileage moving up. When the season gets going, it's hard to keep the mileage up because of the meets.
