Hi guys
1. Today: Great to see a near 100% turnout tonight apart from a few Cobham guys skiing. You all looked pretty good doing your 1km efforts with Phil Costley having to work hard to catch you all - except Year 8 Captain Ben Oliver who was paired with his brother, last years' Year 8 Captain - Craig. Thanks to Craig Fairhall and Jock Spain for manning the road before and after the river run today and to Craig Eustace for tidying up at the end.
2. Polos: Hopefully you all got your Polo Shirts from your manager. Somehow we have misplaced Josh Primmers' one - a size 14 - if you see it please email this address - that applies to Managers who may have it in their bag. Thanks to Amanda Ladd for bagging up all the Polos and also arranging all the other uniform orders - that is a huge job.
3. Lost Property: I picked up two jackets and a polo after the run today - come and get them from "Barny" (my car) on Saturday at Roto Kohatu.
4. Races this Saturday - 5 September: With less than three weeks to go to the IRXC09 (Inter Regional Cross Country 2009) it is important to get what is called "race fit" - to experience the pain and pleasure of racing hard. That is why our 8th/10 official training session is a race this Saturday, 5 September at Roto Kohatu Reserve, at the end of Sawyers Arms Road (airport end), off Johns Road. This is where we had our first training session in Week 2 of this term. Anyone is welcome to race - family, friends, clubmates etc. No need to enter or entry fee.
Meet 1.30pm for a warm up before starts at:
2.00pm Year 5/6 Girls and below - 2km
2.15pm Year 5/6 Boys and below - 2km
2.30pm Year 7/8 Girls and above - 3km
2.45pm Year 7/8 Boys and above - 3km
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU COME in these races and as Phil said, experiment with what to eat/drink beforehand, with race tactics etc. Maybe try a fast start or slow start, try sprinting 100-150m at the start or go slow for the first lap or lead! We will not record results or times, but you might like to! The main aim is for you to run your race distance at race pace over a tough Cross Country course - ENJOY!
PS If anyone is able to get there at 1.00pm approx. to help me set up it would be appreciated.
5. Next Training Run: There is NO combined run next week (but do train of course - some faster stuff now as in your programme and it is almost "taper" time - ie easing off on the longer runs.

See you on Saturday!
