Summer 2012 Training Camp Details

Cross Country Summer Camp will begin Monday, July  9.  Practices will be held Monday-Thursday, from 7:00am - 9:00am.  On Monday, please bring your Summer Clearance form, filled out, along with $25 for participation (If you cannot afford the $25, please contact Coach White).  Athletes will not be able to practice until they have submitted a completed Summer Clearance form.

Don't forget to bring running shoes, NOT Vans or other non-running shoes.  Snail's Pace will give you a 10% discount on shoes, if you mention you are on the Ocean View HS Cross Country team.  Also, Big 5 is a good alternative to Snail's Pace.  Please remember to begin hydrating over the weekend; drinking 5 glasses of water on the morning of practice will not be helpful to you.  Also, bring a water bottle and a light nutritious snack, for after practice.

Coach Oberbeck, Coach Najera, and Coach White look forward to training with you this summer.

Quote of the week

If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just finish the race. It's up to you.

Hydration is Import All Year Around - Particularly Summer

Hydration is an important part of preparation and recovery for any runner.  Whether it's practice or a big race, hydration (along with nutrition and many other factors) is one of the simplest ways to improve your performance.
