So, we had our "bye" week this week, meaning a second week in a row with no dual meet. That should have us hungry for our next race. And the races will come fast and furious after today. As I pointed out at practice last week, the JV workout count is rapidly declining; indeed, because of the meet schedule, after today's workout, there will only be one JV workout left! That isn't to say we won't throw in a small bonus session or two...
Anyway, before we get to our "two dual meet" week (I still don't understand why the R-H meet was postponed, given that their baseball team managed to play a home game to completion that same afternoon), we have the Brighton Relays on Friday (and the JV Relays at Gates for many of you). I looked back at last year's results (available here), and here is what I see:
4x1600 (we should be faster than these times):
Brighton 19:11.4
McQuaid 19:30
800 (Schroeder sub-2s this time?):
David Geary 1:57.4
Brian Dinan 1:58.7
AJ Nasello 2:00:0
Kevin Richard 2:00.5
Ryan Vanzo 2:00.9
DMR (this should be achievable):
Brighton 11:56.0
Hilton 12:03.1
2x3200 (tough race):
McQuaid 20:11.8 (10:05, 10:06)
Brighton 20:21.3 (10:02, 10:18)
4x800 (end of the night):
Brighton 8:35.0
Arcadia 8:47.8
Results do not seem to be online from the last time we competed as a team (in 2008).

I Lost, but Team Slayer FTW
OK, despite my best intentions, I have not made the time to update the blog recently, so I have some catching up to do. Tax season was especially painful this year because I had new forms to fill out and then I had to deal with multiple college financial aid applications (since Nate still hadn't decided on his final choice).
I have to start by saying, Great Workout Today! Despite the less than ideal conditions, just about everyone hit appropriate times on the intervals. As I pointed out to the JV guys, there are only 3 more workouts (2 of them next week and a final workout on May 10th) before JV counties on May 20th, since there are JV meets on Apr 30 and May 3, 5, 7, 12, 14, 17.
Next, here are the long-awaited splits from the Thomas meet on 4/13.

Hydrate
Tomorrow's meet at Rush-Henrietta will be warm (at least at the start), but it looks like it may not make the 80s as initially forecast. Still, let's take this opportunity to think about hydration again.
You know that bloated feeling you get, after drinking about a quart of water? Not the kind of stomach you want to deal with during a race. To avoid that last-minute guzzling of water when your body gets out to the meet and realizes that it is warm out, you need to start the hydration process the day before the meet. Also, during school on Wednesday, you should periodically "top off" the tank. It's much better to take 3-4 drinks of 6-8 oz. than to drink 16-24 ozs. a couple of times. This can ensure that the water is in your blood, where it belongs and is needed, when it comes time to race, and not in your stomach.
R-H has an outstanding team - as you know, they won the indoor Sectional title - so this meet will be a great early-season test for us. Let's be prepared!

Dewey Defeats Truman
OK, the D&C's high school sports headline wasn't completely wrong, but it was certainly not sending the correct message. Perhaps it was some sort of April Fools joke. Technically, since the boys events were first, the boys meet ended first and Penfield "christened their new track", with a 74-67 loss to Schroeder. I'd also like to know who is this "Kevin Sprailing" guy, that apparently beat Twombly and Brycen Spratling in the 100 and Brycen in the Long Jump. This meant that Brycen got no ink for his victory in the 200, in a very fast time.
The distance crew put in a very nice performance, outscoring Penfield, 24-8, including an impressive sweep in the 800. And clinching the meet with the dominating win in the 4 x 800 relay I'll add the rest of the splits later, but for now, here are the 4x800 relay times, since I had to fly out before many saw the splits.

I had to leave quickly, as yesterday was officially proclaimed "MIT day in Rochester" by Mayor Duffy, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the MIT club of Rochester!
