In over 30+ years of racing, I have experienced restless sleep the night before my big race hundreds of times and still raced extremely well. WHY? Because my Junior College Coach held us accountable to proper rest, healthy eating and hydration, purposeful workouts all the time. He also suggested getting great sleep and fuel two days prior to our races. Let's be sure that two days prior to our races we have our favorite healthy foods and get to sleep on-time or maybe even 30 minutes earlier than normal. And finally, don't go changing things. Don't suddenly carb-load, over-hydrate or anything that is super out of the norm. GO HAWKS!!!  Can you believe its been 7 weeks? I can't, but one thing I do believe is our Hawks are improving and are ready to race this coming week at Shamrock'n. Parents you'll receive a separate message with details on Shamrock'n.

Another amazing week of Hawks practices and we capped it off with our first HAWK-chocolate Sunday Run! We have come to the point it is time for a little recovery. That doesn't mean we are going to skip days, slow down or anything that the athletes may recognize. It is means a slight tweak in the types of workouts we will do and the distance they will run at practices. These adjustments will allow for the foundation they have built to convert to actual fitness improvement. Some key things to keep in mind in the coming weeks:
