This Past week
We are putting this out early because of some special announcements on when and where we are getting together this weekend. But first, we have to give a few call-outs from this week so far.
First, this is a really, really great team. Every guy is putting forth some great effort. And there is a lot of support for each other. Whether it is BWright letting us know that Vanaria is hopelessly lost and made a wrong turn and is likely in Cherry Hill still, or Morris making sure the pack was together on the thresholds today - all of these guys have the whole team in mind first and foremost.
We took the top 25 guys up to Holmdel on Tuesday. What looked like a brutal rainy day turned out to be beautiful. Everyone left a lot on those hills. Ty Schneider made a case as one of the contenders for the Varsity 7 on The Bowl. Horten, Seigel and Morris all looked very strong. Kramer started slowly as he usually does and finished looking like he was only half way thru the workout after 4 tough repeat miles averaging around 6 Minutes on rugged, wet terrain.
Today was a refreshing Threshold workout. The guys are really getting a feel for what this about. The top guys automatically go back to the line after 2 minutes rest and were packed tighter than sardines in a can. Cramer looked great from all the hard work he has been putting in, big Klawunn sticking, and Caffrey transforming his sea legs into terra firma monsters. Hillman, LaLumia and Entwhistle looked awesome for the mid pack - nice and steady. Special kudos to Travis Klawunn for leaving a bit of himself on the trail. And it is amazing how far Marcus Topel has come since we first saw him this summer - a 6 mile day. Imagine what a bit of work is doing!
Saturday
We are doing a workout at 8AM in Haddonfield on Saturday to get hills in. We are meeting at 5 East Upland Way, Haddonfield, NJ (type it into Google Maps. There is a swim club parking lot there near the railroad tracks. Rough directions are Kings Highway to left on Warwick Road to left on Upland and just past the tracks on the right. It takes about 25 minutes to get there, and we appreciate parents taking the effort to figure out car pools and getting the guys over there!
Monday
Yes, we are practicing on Monday at 8AM. The good news is that it will be an Ultimate Frisbie practice. We still run a warm-up and warm-down, and get a good speed workout in chasing Frisbies.
Tuesday and Onward
Practice shifts to 2:45 on Tuesday.
