Well, friday I'm off to state. My role, driver, cheerleader, comic relief...
Kids' role? Hopefully asskicking.

The boys KILLED it at districts. All seven varsity sub 17, 5 P.R.s... Currently seeded 3rd in the state... The girls came in 2nd w/ our #2 runner running sick. Time will tell, but I think we'll have our revenge on Redmond (who tapered for 2 weeks up to districts) by peaking at exactly the right time. Down to the minute... Biorythms, special lighting, white noise generators, hypobaric oxygen housing... and the finest foods...

THe girls are seeded 4th in the state (ahead of the team we lost to... so, the polls are not really a science... or are they a science...

a TIME TRAVEL science?!!! Hmm

Another guy w/ a computer used our district times to predict the boys in 2nd, and the girls in like 7th...

I think the guys, and the girls will do just swimmingly... but that will be an exciting 15-20 minutes per race, and waiting the Oregon State Athletic Association mandated 30 minutes before announcing results...

Me, basically in the middle of my 1 week off week. Tonight, my nationals... CO-ED under the lights... then off to try to win a ski pass...

Next week, Mon/Wed/Fri Nordic team (a lot of the kids will be doing bounds and pole runs and stuff, I'll probably just run 3 times for 4-7 miles with a different group because...)
Tues-Thurs, HS Ultimate (where i'll get plenty of bounding and leaping and stuff)...

40 plus kids at the meeting... thanks above and beyond... (I think, we'll see how coaching that many goes)...
