9/1 update

Braves,

We had some strong races on Friday, with our girls team finishing 4^th in 5A and our guys were 3^rd in 5A. In general I thought we performed very well. We left it all out there and got better. I was very impressed with our kids who were evacuated, or nearly evacuated, and the fact that they chose to come and race when they would have been more than justified staying with their families. We are all a part of something larger than ourselves. I hope that you know as teammates that you play an important role in the lives of your teammates.

Labor Day – we will not be holding an official practice tomorrow. However, I recommend everyone getting out and running. If you are in need of ideas, I would suggest a 50 minute run with a 15 tempo in the middle.

We do not have a race on Wednesday this week. Our only race is Friday at the Murray invitational. Please go to our website https://bravesxc.blogspot.com/p/2019-schedule.html to see the schedule and to find a link with more information and Murray.

There were many great performances. I was particularly impressed with Hannah’s race. She had a breakout race and it looked to me like the payoff of a lot of tough workouts over the past 3 months. I thought she was due for a breakout performance, and she made a huge jump. She wasn’t the only one, or course, but she was a good example of how improvement comes from hard work.

If you have questions about this week please let me know. If you are interested in hosting a team dinner please email Caitlin at cpjacobson19@gmail.com

Thanks,

Coach Jacobson
