Avon Lake Early Bird

Here’s information regarding our team this week:

• Just another reminder: bring water and a watch to practice every day! We are working on intervals on the track and don’t always have access to water. We are also working on pacing so athletes need to continue timing themselves on intervals, along with keeping track of workout times and making sure we are aware of the ‘normal’ time.
• Please let us know if there are any issues with uniforms! Stop by Coach Peepers' room if you need anything.
• All athletes need to make sure they are stretching right after practice, at night and on Saturdays/Sundays. If there is consistent, long-lasting pain, let us know. We may be able to schedule a time to see the trainer at the high school if necessary.

EARLY BIRD WEEK:

• We will be meeting at TROY (not Learwood), on Saturday, September 2nd, at 6:00 a.m. This is an early one. Buses leave at 6:05 a.m. We should return around 10 a.m. (maybe even earlier) at Troy. We will send a REMIND text for parents.
• This meet will be held at Lorain County Community College (LCCC).
• Course map can be found here: COURSE MAP
• Parents, you should be able to see athletes run at the beginning of the race, then at the tennis courts (around the mile mark), then at the finish.
• We have been talking about HYDRATION for the past several weeks. Please keep hydrating prior to Saturday.
• All BOYS run at 8:00 a.m.
• All GIRLS run at 8:30 a.m.
• This race will determine who runs TEAM and OPEN at next week's Tiffin Carnival! We will talk about that on Friday.
• Bring uniform, apparel, running shoes AND spikes (if you have them). You will only wear your spikes for the race. Bring a cell phone, water, your weekly sports drink (just one), and a healthy snack.
• Another reminder: if you wear compression shirts, shorts, or just regular shirts/shorts underneath your uniform, it has to be BLACK! 
• Parents, if you could wait to sign out your child that would be preferred. The coaching staff will be back at camp right after the last race. But if you have to sign out earlier, Coach Marlow will be at the finish line. Only parents can sign out athletes!
• After the race, results will be posted online at https://oh.milesplit.com/. If you click RESULTS and then MEET RESULTS you should be able to find the Avon Lake Early Bird.
