Results from the Saints meet and Stanford

You can find the results from last weekend here..

Training Sept 22 - 27

After the South Bay meet I told everyone to get some easy miles in over the weekend which most did. Monday I planned a set of hill reps at Pomona but most of our runners were sore from the race which kind of surprised me. In retrospect, however, it was probably because the South Bay course consists of a lot of soft grass running.... easy on the legs but if you're not used to  racing on it will have after-effects. Actually this bodes well for the kids going to Stanford this weekend because the entire route is on the Stanford golf course. LOTS of soft grass there. After the first set I cut the rest of the planned session

Monday
Two miles easy plus 8 fast runs up the Pomona Park hill from the sidewalk to Maria.... about 280 meters.
Recovery was walk down Maria (steep downhill) and jog back to start.
That was enough for Monday.

Tuesday "recovery"
4 Miles (varsity) plus 8 x 20 second fast race strides at Spreckels plus  core session.

Wednesday
Run to Tidelands for warmup then after dymamics etc, we did a tempo run.
Varsity ran twice around the park on grass (thinking of Stanford) then back under the bridge to 6th... distance was two miles. Others did one lap then back to 6th. Walk up 6th to Spreckels, 5 x 100 meter strides and core session.

Thursday
Those racing at Saints on Friday just ran to Sunset park did dynamic stretching and ran/walked back to school. Those running at Stanford on Saturday (Girls Varsity) went to Sunset like the others but continued on to finish a 4 mile easy run after dynamics.

Saints Small School Meet this Friday (Revised)

Here's a little info about the Saints Small School meet this Friday (revised).
Basically it's a meet for Schools with an enrollment of 1500 or smaller but it usually turns out to be mostly a preview of the D4 CIF competition. This year, because a couple of strong D4 schools have moved down to D5, it'll be a good indication of that division as well... maybe even more so. There are only 4 races starting with the girl's JV race at 3pm with races following every 25 minutes.

3pm Girls' JV
3:25 Boys' JV
3:50 Girls' Varsity
4:15 Boys' Varsity

All divisions (3,4,5) are run at the same time with the team results sorted out on the spot by Computer.
The D4 schools attending are:
Coronado
Army-Navy Academy
Bishop's
Holtville
Health Sciences High and Middle College
High Tech High (North County)
High Tech High (Chula Vista)
High Tech High (San Diego)
Mater Dei

Here is a full list of the schools entered.

Transportation
My 2nd call for drivers hit the jackpot so now we have rides for everyone.
At 1:30 the following parents will drive (I'll also have a 9 passenger van).
Caryn Clausen (can take 5)
Leslie Angelino (can take 4)
Mariko Tortolero (can take 6)
Katie Lindeman? (Can take 4)
Steve Loefflers (can take 5)

This is enough drivers to transport kids to the 1st three races (see below).
Also Greg Cooper will be driving Minnie after school around 2:30 so if some kids want to leave later he can take a few more. Around the same time  Kelly De Laurentis will be driving Kingston; JB's mom can take JB and a couple more; Carlos' mom can take 5.... so the boys Varsity can all leave at 2:30 if they want. If not there will be room at 1:30.
Coming back there are plenty of seats available.



Here are the races I currently have everyone in (revised):

3:00 JV Girls 2.75 Miles

South Bay Results

South Bay Results
Good outing yesterday at South Bay. A lot of the new runners on the team finally got to run in a real meet and the "old hands" performed quite well, I think.
You  can find the results in several places.
They're linked to Track Magazine http://sdtrackmag.com/2012CC/Results/SouthBay/index.htm

South Bay Invite

Friday's meet is at Rohr Park in Chula Vista.
We'll have a bus to get there for the early races but you'll have to arrange your own rides back.
 Early out tomorrow is 1:33, bus at 1:45.
   
Here's a link to the Google Map of the area that'll take you right to parking lot  "B" from the top of the Coronado Bridge   http://goo.gl/maps/5ljoq

Here are a couple of maps of the course..
Boys run 5k Girls run 2.5 miles.

Below is a little map showing where I'll set-up camp.
The "B" is parking lot "B" on the Google Map.
The X is where the race packets, Trophies, Computer, etc are... under a stationary canopy.
The Circled area is where we we'll set-up, under that tree hopefully ...  if we get there in time that is.

I sent this out earlier but here are the times and some of the kids in the races (not exactly current).

Workouts for the week of Sept 17 - 21

 Workouts for the week of Sept 17 - 21

Monday
After the Mt. Carmel meet on Saturday I didn't want another quality day so soon so on Monday we did our distance day.

Tuesday
At Tidelands we did an Oregon-system inspired race-simulation like this (see map below):
800 meters at race pace starting at the beginning of the 1000 meter course.
Without stopping or jogging run a slower pace for a lap them back to the 1000 meter start (about 920 m)
800 meters are race pace
The slower lap
800 meters at race pace.

Then we did 10 x 100 fast strides and core.

Wednesday
Basically a recovery day 4-6 miles

Thursday we'll just warm-up and Friday we have the South Bay Invite.

Mt. Carmel Saturday 15 Sept

Mt. Carmel Invite

For those going to Mt. Carmel, it's going to be very hot, so hydrate TODAY. I'll have plenty of RO water there.

Parking, transportation, and our "camp"

There are nearly 4500 runners signed up in the 16 races for tomorrow so parking could be a bit of a problem. The races, however, are distributed throughout the day so there will be people moving in and out. Still I'd get there, at the very least, an hour before your race. I'll be among the first people there in the morning because I need to set-up the computers and finish-line. Getting there early has the advantage of being able to pick a good spot for our "camp." I choose approximately the same spot each year... see map below. Since I'll be by myself in the morning I'll leave the water, ground covers and canopy's there to be set up when enough people arrive.

Coronado "camp" location for Mt. Carmel

There's a link to the entries at the top of the San Diego Track Magazine Message Board
Runners are responsible for their own transportation for this one.

Workouts Sept 8 - 12

Hopefully everyone got a long run in either on the 8th or 9th (Saturday or Sunday). This week we worked a little harder M-W because of the Mt. Carmel Invite coming up on Saturday.
 
Monday
We went to Morley Field where we ran the 1st mile  of the city course plus a tad more as a warm-up. Then after dynamic stretching we did strides down to the bottom of where the dog loop path crosses Florida. This is the beginning of what we call the "Big Hill." It starts out very steep, goes through the dog loop past the pool, and all the way up to the top of the CIF hill... about 1114 meters.

The "Big Hill" at Morley Field

This was run twice (jogged down) followed by 5 sets of the Short Hill Rep and Core.
As always we went by time run so not everyone ran all the way to the top.

Tuesday
Those that went to Morley on Monday ran basically recovery but with 2 x 4 minute pickups on the way.
Those that didn't get to Morley ran to Sunset as a warmup, did the dynamics, etc., then ran a short route to Pomona Park where they ran 5 x 160 meter hill reps from the Pomona Ave. Sidewalk, across the park grass to Adella Ave... see picture below.

160 meter Pomona Park Grassy Hill Rep

Wednesday
We went to Tidelands park and ran a 1000 - 800 - 600 - 400 ladder at race pace with about 3-3.5 minute rests, as well as core.

Stanford Invite

Stanford Invitational on September 29th

This year’s Stanford Trip is still open to any boys who want to go, but time is running out to register.
I have reserved both a boy’s and girl’s varsity team (7 runners each). The girls’ team is full but no boys have yet indicated that they definitely are going.…. Probably because only the girls’ trip was really promoted by John Downey.

However, there’s still time to put together a boys’ team, or at least a few boy runners.  We’ve done this trip now for the past 2 years. Most fly in to the San Jose airport (or San Francisco or Oakland) on Friday morning  and visit the Stanford Campus as a group during the day.  We stay at the Sheraton Sunnyvale where we have a group rate of $89 reserved up until September 13 .. This Thursday.  The girls’ team, their families, and I have now reserved rooms there.   There’s still time to put together a boys’ team or at least a few boy runners but I need to know by this Thursday because, after that, I’m going to finalize our entries.  We’ve done this trip now for the past 2 years.

 Please understand that this is not a school chaperoned event and we are able to participate as a team only because each runner travels with their family.  To book a room(s) at the Sheraton Sunnyvale call 800-325-3535 by the 13^th and mention the “Coronado Cross Country” group rate. I did this today and there was no problem. Airfare via Southwest is CURRENTLY around $70 each way (depending on when you return.)

The girls and parent(s) so far going this year are:
Ashley Engelman
Brooke Pierson
Brooke Hendricks
Rachel Steffen
Aeron Yim
Hannah Downey
Elise Umansky

Here are a few photos of our two previous trips”
