Meet Information:

This week is the AAU Club Championships in Orlando.  The meet is at the Disney Wide World of Sports.  Take a look at the link to the meet website as it will be able to answer a lot more questions than I can answer.  If you are unsure of what events you are participating in, check last weeks Team 101.

Weekly Notes:

I've had some requests for training ideas during the break before this weekend so here is a plan for you to follow:  Friday- 30 minutes easy, Saturday- 3x1 mile at 2 mile race pace with 5 minutes standing recovery, Sunday- Off, Monday- 10x400 at mile race pace with 60 seconds standing recovery.

Only coach Chaz will be out of town for the Disney meet so practice will go as scheduled with the other coaches.

On July 16th Curtis athletes will have the opportunity to get a physical done at school for $10.  Ask coach Preston for more info.

There is still some shirts and singlets available for purchase.  Mostly size smalls are available.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

Recent Events:

Hope you enjoyed your 4th of July weekend!

Weather Outlook:

Harahan 10-Day Forecast.  If it is raining around workout time, I will be updating changes in practice schedule on twitter which will automatically load onto the right side of this page.  You can check for updates there.  Please do not call or text several hours before practice even begins.  The weather around here changes swiftly and there is no way to tell what it will look like around practice time.  Between 30-40 minutes before practice I will tweet if practice is changing locations, but I will not tweet if it remains the same.  If practice location changes, 99% of the time it will change to John Curtis High School which is located on Jefferson Highway in River Ridge.
