Its time to take stock of where we are and what we have accomplished in 2008. Our preseason training has been superior to any preseason since this all began back in 1977 and given our history, that is saying alot. You all have soon a very good increase in fittness since August 18. Physically, you are ready to race. You have set many great short and long-term goals and you have kept your eye on those goals. So far, We are a legitmate contender to compete for a regional berth to NXN. You have come together as a team with 36 important and strong members. You are learning to behave and act as one. Emotionally, you are ready to race. You have risen to the challenge of tough workouts and made adjustments while in the middle of a workout to improve your outcome. This shows a toughness and a spirit that is necessary if we are to "Run down the Dream". And you have shown great faith in your coaches. Spiritually you are ready to race. These are no small accomplisments, although we have achieved nothing yet. This week we begin our quest and we start with a formidable opponent that has raced three times already. They will honor you be putting a very nice target on your back. You must now focus on performance as nothing less than your best will do. For the next seven weeks we must be the best teammates possible. by being there for and encouraging your teammates, you will release your own anxieties and allow yourself to perform the way that you have worked so hard to perform. Look forward to the racing season. when it is over, you will look back on the next seven weeks and realize that they have been the best seven weeks of your life. And the best will be yet to come. Lets get excited, lets be determined, lets never give up and lets be great together.
