What We Want Weekly – Wet Week Edition

(Ultimate alliteration title today.)

The good news is, the Caldwell County Invitational will probably be 20 degrees cooler than normal.  The other good news is, with the majority of the course being gravel or asphalt, it is unlikely to get really slow when wet.  The bad news is, the majority of the course may be underwater at race time Tuesday, so whether we race is very much up in the air.  They have said the meet will go ahead as scheduled unless there is lightning or flooding.  Come prepared for a wet day, whenever we run.

This week’s meet is the course for the conference meet, and is a very flat course that in good conditions can be fast.  For new people it will be a good chance to improve your 5k time significantly.  It could also turn out to be one of those fun bad weather meets.  So something to look forward to, either way.

• Monday – hopefully you are enjoying Labor Day, and getting a in a good run and some strides even if you are wet.
• Tuesday – Caldwell County Invitational at Lenoir – varsity at 5:00 and 5:30, JV at 6:00 and 6:30.  If postponed or cancelled, we will have circuits, a medium run, and strides.  Note that our run may be affected if the greenway is flooded.
• Wednesday – at Moses Cone, unless we are making up the meet.  If the meet is cancelled entirely, we will do the hill workout we did right before school started.  If we raced Tuesday, the Moses Cone workout will be a medium-to-long run.
• Thursday – long hills, unless we had a race or hard workout Wednesday.  In that case, circuits and regular run.
• Friday – circuits and medium run.  If the schedule got changed around and Wednesday was a hard day, this will be a tempo workout on the track.
• Saturday – if we stick to the regular schedule, this will be a tempo workout at the track meeting at 9:30 a.m.  If that workout was done on Friday, Saturday will be a long run.
• Sunday – easy run or day off.
