TNHS ​Speed Week 2014

Each day we will meet at 6 p.m. and will be finished by 9 p.m.   

Locations and activities will vary so please follow the schedule closely -  

Monday, July 21 - TNHS - fartlek and "Ultimate Frisbee"
Tuesday, July 22 - Dean Watts - intervals and "Craters and Volcanoes"
Wednesday, July 23 - Bernheim (Garden Pavillion, first right) - trail run and "Garbage Ball"
Thursday, July 24 - TNHS - Collegiate Coach, Kevin Alessandro speaking, 2 mile time trial, "Shark and Octopus Tag" and "Smuggler"
Friday, July 25 - Hoyes's house (1056 Lutheran Church) - hike, Slip 'n Slide and cookout
Saturday, July 26 - Louisville Bats baseball game

​We will also have a couple of guest speakers but will keep it short.  What I've learned about camps is that I want them training, kids want to play games and don't like to listen to the speakers regardless how valuable their message might be.  So the week will be all about fun.

For Friday's cookout, please bring a side and your own drinks (please don't bring anything with peanuts or any kind of tree nut).  And, families are welcome to stick around.  We'll take a short hike on the ridge and mostly just enjoy not running.

Saturday's Bats game is free.  I have a great friend (the head groundsman and running buddy, Tom) who has gotten us 30 tickets.  Last year we had a blast.  We will need a couple of our seniors and parents to drive.  We will need to know numbers of those attending and driving, so please get back to me with that info.  

Thanks, and I hope to see ALL of the XC family next week.
