October 4: Jefferson Invitational, Jackson County Airport
Runners are released from class at 1:45 BUT I WILL NOT HAVE A SUB. This means that you need to do the following:
Captains: come get my keys to open the locker rooms and get instructions.
Everyone: meet at the locker rooms to change...you are taking your stuff with you, but get changed at the locker rooms.
I will meet you at the locker rooms at 2:15 -- we will need to go get everything and load the bus by 2:30!!! Do not make me look for you...you will get left.
The bus LEAVES no later than 2:30, and we need to load the bus together. If you are late, we WILL NOT wait for you!!
If your parents would like to support, we would love to have them. Please have them arrive at the park NO LATER than 40 minutes before your race..otherwise they may miss it!! Parking is a ways from the race, so please have them come prepared for a walk. We will not have seating for them...they should bring chairs. Per the organizer, entry is $10 per car, exact change appreciated.
Running schedule:
JV boys 4:15pm
JV girls 4:45pm
Varsity boys 5:20pm
Varsity girls 6:00pm
We will NOT stop on the way home for food -- we need to get you home. Please eat a good lunch so you won't be starving, and we will have bagels etc for afternoon snack before or after you run.
If your parents want to bring you home instead, they can...but please stay to support the later runners if you are able! We are a team in all things, and everyone runs better when they are being cheered on!
We will return to the school somewhere between 7:00-7:30pm -- you can call when we get close.
Please make sure you eat a good dinner the night before and breakfast before you arrive. We will have bagels and fruit for you at the meet, but this needs to be the second meal of the day. DO NOT EAT EGGS OR DRINK MILK!!! These foods are almost guaranteed to end up on the side of the course!!
What to bring (please pack your bag the day before!!!):
Uniform and running shoes (wear this so you know you have them!!!!!)
Other clothes to wear over when you are not running. Once you stop sweating you will need them!
WATER BOTTLE -- I will have a jug to refill, but you need to bring a bottle.
Snack if you don't want the bagels we are bringing.
Spikes if you plan on wearing them.
A towel (in case it rains). We run meets in the rain if there is no lightning!!!
A charger for your phone if your phone dies quickly...otherwise you will be calling from a friend's phone when we are almost home.
Money for a shirt if you want to get one. For our new runners, races often have commemorative shirts available to sell with cash or credit.
Optional: Roller...this is a good thing to keep in your running bag! Rolling your muscles can make all the difference after a meet where you went all out. I will have one there too but if you want to have your own it is great to use at home too.
