Hard, hot hills

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. Trying to get back into the normal semester routine.

Yesterday's hill workout at Bowdoin Park was very difficult and very hot for our men's and women's teams. It was one of the first times this year that I can remember our workout schedules coinciding, so it was great to be working out together at the same venue.

The workout was difficult, but most everyone got through it very well. Was it too hard? On Sept. 13 in a long season, too hard is OK at this point. We'll just have to monitor everyone and make sure everyone recovers before the next workout (Friday, for those not racing at VCP) or the next race (Iona Meet of Champions on Saturday).

For those of you waiting for cooler autumn weather to arrive ... you are in luck. It will rain on Thursday, which will usher in some much cooler weather. Just in time for the next workout and race!
