Team,
Attached is this past week results. The structure for this week is as follows:
10K: 2k-4k-4k 18-20-22
12k: 2k-5k-5k 18-20-22
Looking at a comparison to last year here's what I'm seeing so far.
Varsity you are a tad bit faster on the whole then last year, but we already knew that. You need to push several split seconds below your average last year as a team to accomplish your goals. Everyone top to bottom needs to do their part.
Novices currently the top 8 is slightly slower than last year's top 8, but the second and third 8's are slightly faster. That means we have some great depth and will compete from the first to the third 8. But we need to continue pushing speed from the bottom up. Keep surging the numbers under 2:00 and closer to 1:50. The faster the rates get the easier it should be.
Keep up the good teamwork first and foremost, but make sure you're doing everything you can to separate yourself from the pack. Making yourself faster to get in a faster boat will only help the team as a whole.
