Comments
The goals I had coming into the meet were:
Grade
1.  Develop pre-race routine. A
2.  Even split times (develop good pace judgement, no dramatic slowdowns). B+/B
3.  Compete! A
4.  Cooldown well and prepare ourselves for next week's workouts and race. A
I am really happy with this group and the effort you have been putting in.  If you are not happy with your performances
I ask you to be patient.  It takes time to adjust to new training and new surroundings.  I would like to note Dave Howard's
 and Morgan Sulzener's performances.  They both did a great job and had our best average times.  Also, Adam Bray
improved by 22 seconds.  The men's team is significantly better than our team's the last two years.  The women
did a great job and the average of the top five,  9:34, is our second best ever, trailing our 1999 MAC champion team.
With Ada averaging 9:02 for her workout our top 6 averaged 9:28!
Where does this leave us?
For the next week or two you will remain in the "Valley of Fatigue" before your current training translates into faster times.
As you continue to train well and to adapt to this level of training your fitness level will rise.  Hang in there!
Remember, we have done virtually no running at race pace and we ran this race without backing down from our training.
In fact, our workouts have been tougher this year than last year.  Your spirit and enthusiasm and positive frame of mind
will translate into great things down the road.
