Incredible workout this morning!  More than 20 MVXC runners were at the track at 7am and headed up for mile repeats on Candy Crush–a nasty little lollipop that the coaches designed last year!  Candy Crush is a great training circuit for Crystal in particular but also for just about any XC course; there are multiple hills to test us, little dips to develop our ability to recover while running hard (a great talent while racing), and great scenery if we can make ourselves look up while hammering down the trail!

Afterwards we had a pot luck breakfast back on the track, with the highlight perhaps being Coach Johnson’s peanut butter and banana sandwich.

Great day, all!  Have a good rest of your weekend!

There are some more photos up on our Picasa site.
