2012 Arapahoe Warrior Invitational
Great start to the season on Friday Vista Nation! Easily the best start we have had in the past 6 years. When you prepare in advance great things happen. Days like Friday are the reason why we choose to meet together all summer long as a team. It's a BIG sacrifice to make, but the rewards are worth it. Congrats on a great start!
Friday was fun, but we still have a lot of work to do in order to be ready to achieve our team goals for the end of the season. An area where we need to get better is closing the time gap between our #1 to #7 runners in each race. Good teams can get the gap from #1 to #5 down to 60 seconds. Great teams can get their #1 to #7 between 30-45 seconds. This is where I challenge us to be. The hardest work is still ahead, but so is our best racing. Keep things in perspective and remember that Arapahoe was in August. We want to be at our best in October.
