MAST Update Week Five Part I

12/11/2022

 
MAST Update Week Five Part I
(I will have more to say in Part II on Monday night/Tuesday morning)
Sunday, December 11, 2022

Dear MAST Athletes, Parents, Coaches, Friends:
Hopefully everyone is recovering nicely from a hard week of training. The coaches are impressed with your positive spirit, consistent effort, and steady improvement.  Let's keep improving this week!

Change to Thursday’s Training Schedule
Please note that I am making one change to the THURSDAY training schedule this week. Here is the new schedule for Thursday:

3:45-5:15PM. All Wild Mt Competitors. Lanes 7 & 8. 
5:00-7:15PM. Pods 8/7. Lane 7. Meet on Lanes 7 & 8 at 5PM.
6:30-8:45PM. Pods 12-9. Lane 6. Meet on TOP of south chair at 5PM.

Bring and use your rope tow gloves. Lots of laps.

I made this change to allow the athletes who will be competing at Wild Mt on Friday the chance to get in a short training session and still have time to tune their skis and get to bed early to meet the bus. Training is optional for all Wild Mt competitors on Thursday. If you feel you would be better off resting, please stay home and do just that.

Mpls Alpine Championships
Racing begins this week. Our first race is tomorrow: The Mpls Alpine Championships. Attached is a run order that parents can print to follow the race. I will also have a few copies to distribute to fans. If you did not state your intentions for this race, you are on the run order, just after all of those who did state their race intentions. As you can see, athletes are racing in order of their grade level per team.

Here is a schedule for the day.
2:45PM Early release from school.
3:30-4:15 Course Inspection.
3:50 Gate Judge Meeting in the Finish Arena
4:25 Forerunners Start.
4:30 Run One
5:00 Re-Inspection/Quick Slip
5:15 Run Two
5:45 Hill Clean Up
6PM Team Meeting

Early Release from School
I emailed the athletic directors to request an early release from school: 2:45PM. Attached is the roster of athletes on the early release request list.

I strongly suggest that you also send a signed parental letter requesting an early release to school with your athlete tomorrow.

Parent Race Worker Sign Up For December 12
A few race worker positions remain open for our race tomorrow. Please sign up to help:  https://signup.com/go/ztKXKXG

Wild Mt Invitational
Shortly (hopefully) after Monday’s race, the coaches and I will send out our team selections for the Wild Mt Invitational on Friday. We are not trying to create drama around this race. We just want to use the results from Monday as one additional input for making the most fair selections we can make. Stay tuned.
