Coaches Notes from Thursday's TT:
we had 11 boys under 11:00 (4 last year)
we had 5 (almost 6) girls under 13:00 (2 last year)
For the lazy skier
Girl's Griak Rundown:
Although there were sloppy conditions and very slow times the HP girls showed significant growth from last year. The girl's team (as a total) was more than a full minute faster than last year and moved up to 34th place, compared to 45 last year! Molly broke the top 70, in her first Griak, and Celeste finished 2nd on the team, moving almost 200 spots up from last year. Anna moved up about 50 places, finishing 3rd on the team. Photos thanks to Lisa Leo
Boy's Griak Rundown:
We started the race out with a different type of cheer which worked well (We can teach it to everyone else if JV wants to learn it). Overall the team did much better this year placing 26th compared to last years 38th. Almost all the boys who ran last year dropped between 30 secs and 2 minutes. The course was much muddier and more slippery than last year. We had almost the same average time however which shows improvement especially without Micah. We had a good support team on the boys side this year (Shout out to Quincy, Will, Parker, Eli, Theo, Otto, Joey and Avery). Also shout out to Noah and Nat were great alternates and went through the entire warm up with us. Photos link fixed - thanks to Lisa Leo

Nordic Skiers
The new nordic calendar year begins. Time to put your sharpened ferrels on your rollerski poles, inspect the rollerskis, and start planning and logging ski hours.
make sure you have an annual plan - here is an example
plan your hours on Sunday for the upcoming week
rollerskier - once or twice a week - 50/50 skate/classic
use a Weekly Training log
running with track team will give you plenty of speed, intensity and strength
make sure you get in a good overdistance workout once a week (80+ min)
motivate your teammates by logging your hours
Birkie price increase July 7. Johnson cabin will be available for HP skiers and family until full. Contact mpj.
“you don’t become a champion by winning a morning workout. The only true way is to marshal the ferocity of your ambition over the course of many days, weeks, months, and (if you could finally come to accept it) years. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials." from the book "Once a Runner".
Racing Effectively - for nordic skiers, but works for runners too
