Week 1 is in the books and we've seen some new faces.  Welcome to the team and thank you for joining us!  As we've shared before, new athletes gets a 2 week trial to determine if you really want to join the team.  If you are a returning Hawk, you should receive an email this week with more details about Dues, USATF membership, and uniforms and such.  And remember, we are always open to new runners joining the team so feel free to invite friends from your community.  Another note on rest days - these are important!  Let your body rest and recover from your workouts.  For extra points - enjoy some stretching and do your strength exercises that we do at practice.

​We've started our season with a wonderful turnout on our first day of practice.  I was so pleased to see so many of you return and a few new faces.  Here are a couple of reminders and this week's workout schedule.  If you have any questions, please email the coaching crew at [email protected] and one of us will get back to you.

• Please fill out the "I'm Interested" form on our website.  Even if you are a returning athlete, we want to confirm and update all information.  This is on the "Next Steps" page on the website.
• Please fill out the Waiver Form found on the "Next Steps" page on the website.
• Please find and download the "Team App" in your phones App store, search for "Delta Hawks Racing" and request to join. This is our primary form of communication.
• We're open for new athletes!  Feel free to invite other athletes ages 8-14 years old.
• What to bring to practice:
  • Face Masks
  • Water Bottles
  • Head Lamps/Flash Light
• End of Practices: When practices end, we want to make sure all athletes come to one of the coaches with their parents to "announce" their departure.  Athletes cannot leave on their own, or meet their parents in the parking lot.  This helps us be sure athletes are going home with their parents.

With these updates & clarification, here's what the rest of the week looks like.

Pod workouts are intended for small groups of athletes that know each other well to group up together and run at a time that works for them.  Use the Team App to invite others and build your own group.  Please think specifically about inviting new athletes into your pod.  Consider driving up to Folsom or Auburn and getting some altitude training in as well.

• W: 2 miles
• Y: 3 miles
• G: 4 miles
