MAST UPDATE WEEK TEN (TUESDAY JANUARY 17, 2023)

1/17/2023

 
MAST Update Week Ten
Tuesday, January 17, 2023

Dear MAST Athletes, Coaches and Parents:

The rain and above freezing temps of the last several days has created a large pool of icy water on my corner of 48th and Harriet. If you have any aches and pains, feel free to come over to take an ice bath. Just like the pros do.
We have a very busy training and racing schedule ahead. Do not skimp on your sleep and take great care to eat healthy. Stay away from the processed foods, sugars, sodas, energy drinks--- anything with empty calories—empty of nourishment.

II. Races, Race Intentions, Race Workers: January 19 to February 2
Our next race is on Thursday against Benilde-St. Margarets (my alma mater), Jefferson (Joel’s alma mater), Holy Angels and Delasalle. We need parents to sign up to work this race and the remaining races at Hyland. We will also need parents to work the races at Wild Mt on January 27 and Welch Village on February 2. I will send links to volunteer for these two big races in a follow up email. For now, please volunteer for the 19th, 23rd, and 30th.  Many coveted race worker roles remain open.

Athletes: be sure you are stating your race intentions. Attached is a spreadsheet listing all the remaining races and the athletes who have stated race intentions for each race. Please look over this spreadsheet carefully and make sure your name and intentions are listed. If you need to change your intention, you can re-register. I can check to see which registration is the most recent. To state your intentions for any of the races list below, just click on the race date.

NOTE TO SELF: HONOR THE DEADLINES!

III. Welch Waiver
All racers are eligible to race in the race at Welch on February 2. But all racers, coaches, and parents who will be on skis that day need to have signed the Welch Liability Release.  If you raced at Welch on January 13th, your waiver is signed. You do not need to sign this again. Thank you. If you still need to sign the Waiver, here is a link. Welch is INSISTANT on checking that every athlete, coach and race worker who is on skis has signed the waiver. Believe me, it is a tremendous headache to deal with Welch on this so please make my life easier by signing this waiver today.  

 Minnesota State High School League 2022/23 Season Release 
If you are over 19, you can sign the waiver yourself. If you are under 19, a parent needs to sign the waiver. Don’t ask me why 19 is the dividing line because I don’t know.
That’s all for now. See you at practice.

Mark
