Update Week Eleven Sunday, January 22, 2023

1/22/2023

 
 MAST Update Week Eleven
Sunday, January 22, 2023

Dear MAST Athletes, Coaches and Parents:


Another big week of racing and training ahead. I made some changes to the training schedule this week. Please look at the updated schedule carefully. Most important, the 3:45PM session on Thursday is for those athletes participating in the Wild Mt Invitational II on Friday. For those not racing at Wild, please come to the 5PM practice if you are in grades 9-12 or the 6:30PM practice if you are in grades 7 or 8.

Also, I am told by our athletes that a 2:45pm early release does not give you enough time to get to Hyland. Hmmm. I will ask for a 2:30 early release tomorrow. I suggest bringing a note to school requesting the early release as well.  

I.  Training/Racing Schedule Week Eleven

We still need to fill a few race day volunteer positions for our race tomorrow (Monday) at Hyland.

And for the Wild Invite, we still need more parents to volunteer to send some food items, help with the tent, and work the race—namely, we need two more gate judges (you only work one run), three more course workers, and two scoreboard recorders.

Looking ahead we have a race on Monday, January 30th at Hyland. Please sign up to work this race as well.

And finally, we will need race workers, lots of them, to work the race at Welch on February 2. 5PM first run start. We will have four courses running, one for Varsity and one for JV. This is the Metro East Conference Championships for all of the JV athletes on our teams. It is also the final race of the Metro East Conference series (one was cancelled due to the snow storm). The SW boys are the defending conference champions and will be fighting off a very strong Hastings team and their Washburn teammates. The Washburn girls will be trying to prevent the 2022 girls champions, Hill -Murray, from make it two in a row. The SW girls are also a threat to take the crown. But to make all of this happen, we will need race workers. Look for a volunteer sign up to come your way in the next couple of days.
III.  Last Call To State Your Race Intentions
Athletes: This is your last chance to state your race intentions for our last two races before Section Championships. I will be closing sign up on Wednesday, January 25th after practice.
Monday, January 30: Hyland Race vs Wayzata and Jefferson. 4:30PM First Run Start

Friday, February 2: MEC Race #3 at Welch Village.   5PM First Run Start.

IV. Supplemental Training on Saturday, February 4 at Wild Mt
We have one remaining Supplemental Training on the calendar: Saturday, February 4.
We had a fantastic training session at Wild Mt yesterday afternoon and evening. The StarTrib had a glowing story about the inspired Kombi courses I set last night and the unbridled joy the athletes experienced as they carved their way through the slalom and GS shaped turns. If hill space allows, Yours Truly will give you one more opportunity to experience the exhilaration of a perfectly set Kombi course. But you have to sign up.
Saturday, February 4 Supplemental Training at Wild Mt: Register Here.

Big race tomorrow. Make sure you have sharp edges and waxed bases.

Sleep well.

Mark
