The Feedzone: Fast Flavorful Food for Athletes
We have had a couple of really solid weeks so far getting ready for the fall XC season. Everyday we have had lots of athletes out working together towards our common goals as a TEAM.
This week I'd like to spend a little bit of time at practice talking about a few other things that will be important to helping us achieve our TEAM goals for the fall: Friendship, Loyalty, and Cooperation. People make us better. There is a much better chance that we will accomplish our TEAM and individual goals when we include others in the process.
If we are going to accomplish our TEAM goals this year building friendships with the other members of the TEAM is critical. Our goals are big this year, and accomplishing them alone are unlikely. We will be much stronger if we go at it together, and help make each other better in the process.

The highlight for our TEAM every summer is always the camping trip! For the 5th year in a row we will be packing up and heading out of town to do a little altitude training, strengthen our friendships, and build a stronger TEAM. If you are having second thoughts about going I encourage you to come. The last 4 years the only regrets that people have had about the camping trip are not going.
Additional information about the trip is below. Currently, there are 3 parents signed up as volunteers. For us to be able to make the trip we will need at least 5 more parents to come along. We do not want the kids to drive to Gunnison. I am happy to rent a cabin or even a hotel room for parents that are willing volunteer. Parents can sign up as volunteers online when you register your athlete for the trip.

MileSplit Article
Our boys were mentioned in the 2013 5A XC preview this weekend on Milesplit. There were some nice things said about us, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. It's one thing to be mentioned as a solid team, but it's another to actually put in the work and prepare for success. Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said, "There is no substitue for work. Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning." When you prepare great things can happen!

Summer Registration Fee
A few athletes have still not paid their $100 for the summer. Please take care of this by Tuesday morning.
The Feed Zone Cookbook
Recently I have been using a cookbook at home that I think is an invaluable asset to your overall performance as a runner. The name of the book is The Feed Zone: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes. It's extremely easy to use Mom and Dad, and most recipes take about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. I have been using at least one of these recipes almost everyday over the last 3 months. If you are an athlete who is serious about reaching your full potential, recovering between workouts, and fueling your body for top performance than I think this is great resource for you. Here is the link to the book. You can also pick up a copy at Run Colorado for 20% off.
