Monta Vista Cross Country got it’s first look of the year at the Crystal Springs XC course at the SCVAL preview, and the reviews are in: We like what we see!
The Crystal Springs course is one of the jewels of the local XC community, and it is lovingly maintained by Bob Rush and the College of San Mateo. The course is in fantastic condition this season.
MVXC has not been shy about staking our claims, and we are certainly proud of our name. We placed our canopies as high as possible above the course. A couple of our athletes said they could see our base camp from the freeway!
Our racing results met or exceeded our goals, also. MV ‘trained through’ this race, meaning that we did not modify our season training plan in order to be rested for Crystal. Training through does not mean that a runner does not try to do as well as possible—we still try—but we might be a little heavy-legged as we work around the course. That’s not too surprising as most of us ran 8 to 10 miles, in the hills, the day before our race! Our goal is to keep improving our fitness and readiness for the championship portion of our season. So yesterday, while it is nice to place high, what is more important is to gain course knowledge, and practice competing during a race.
So if you felt great, AWESOME! If you felt less than 100%, don’t sweat it, you will feel better next time!
Keep eating smart, hydrating, getting plenty of sleep, and stretching. This is a tough part of the season. We are still working hard (hopefully you recovered a bit last week!) and we have been in training for almost two months. Take care of yourself during this critical phase! Be smart and conscientious and take care of your body (while keeping your grades high!).
Remember to have fun! Runners can have fun and be competitive too! There was more than one runner who came around the turn at 800M, gave the coaches a big smile and then ran down a green singlet! Watching MVXC enjoy themselves while racing…that never gets old!
So…mission accomplished! MVXC will be back, soon!
