June 14-19

We had a great group of athletes out our first week of XC!  We saw a lot of good effort all around and especially on the part of our rookies!  Let's stick with it and keep pushing ourselves.

Mileage Teams are up and can be found on the link on the Coaches Contact page above.  See which coach you need to report to each week and do this as soon as you can after your last run for the week every week.  A screen shot of your Strava weekly mileage and a brief explanation is appropriate to email the coach.  Please get your first week reported ASAP.

Make sure you are logging your mileage every day.  If you haven't created an account on Strava and/or made it private please do so.  If you need to clean up your Strava because you have unneeded followers please do so.  Make sure you get in the Mountain Ridge XC club, so that we can all follow each other and support each other.  If you are an athlete and haven't been added to the groupme, then have someone on the team that is in the groupme add you.

If you have friends still wanting to come out, tell them to hurry and start now.  Refer them to the previous posts for how to sign up.  If you haven't signed up and turned in your permission slip for whatever reason get it done, so we can have you at practice and start counting your mileage.

We would highly encourage you all to start running road races this summer when you get a chance, 5ks and even 10ks are great, no half marathons.   Get on Utah Running or Runnercard or just search for races in different areas.  Most towns will do a 5k or some race with their summer celebrations.
