We run the trails at Kalamalka Lake Park for the North Zone Championships this week, and the race starts at 4pm. Here are the details:
- Departure time is 12:50pm. Please attend the first 15 minutes of your afternoon class to check in with your teachers for homework and attendance, and then we will meet in the common area near the office.
- Race Jerseys: If you want to continue using the Track & Field singlets that we've used so far this season, the track coaches want you to have a $50 deposit in the office while you are in possession of the jersey. (This is why I had to collect them at the last race.) I do have jerseys (the old track singlets) that you can sign out with me in the library before the race without a deposit.
- Be Prepared: Bring water, snacks, and clothing to keep you warm and dry. You might want to bring a tuque and some light gloves as our race days can be quite chilly as the season progresses.
- We can make a stop for dinner on the way home so bring some food and/or money.
- We should be back in Revelstoke by 7:30pm
- Please come and see me in the library at lunch if you have any questions.
- There is a Friday 5k this week, and the Valley Championships are coming up on Tuesday, October 25th.
Here's some more information from VSS about the race.
And in other business...
Congratulations to our Senior Girls for what eventually became an official team win and a 1, 2, 3 sweep of the Senior Girls by Kate, Elizabeth, and Beth. The Salmon Arm race directors decided that they could not assign a time to the two VSS runners who missed running one part of the course. For our team, I believe that this emphasizes the importance of knowing the course before the start of the race. This is something that we should all try to remember during our group warm-up sessions, and if you are uncertain about any part of the course, don't hesitate to ask. :)
