Hello MAST Family, It’s that time of year! With our first races coming up next week, it’s time to state your Race Intentions for our December Races. We really encourage everyone to race our two Hyland races. These will be more like instructional races and are important so we can all rehearse our duties: the athletes (veterans and rookies alike), the race workers, and our coaches. We hope to have some gate training over the next few practices so make sure to bring your shin guards! We have some very important stuff in this Update so please read in detail. ***And HUGE Thank Yous to Mike & Jen Rulf and Dual Citizen Brewing for hosting another fun Parent Social this past Sunday! It’s always nice to have introductions and catch up when we’re warm, not completely bundled up, and can actually see each other’s faces. Much appreciation to those who attended the Race Worker Training and signed up to volunteer too! OUR FIRST THREE RACES ARE APPROACHING. STATE YOUR INTENTIONS NOW!
HOW DO YOU STATE RACE INTENTIONS? When you click on the spreadsheet link below, look for the tabs at the bottom of the page for each specific race: Dec. 18th, Dec. 20th, and Dec. 23rd. Click on a tab and find your team (scroll down) and then find your name. If you plan to race, type a Y in the Yes box next to your name. If you do not want to race, type a N in the No box next to your name. For Race Intentions: Click Here.
