Preseason XC camp begins with athletes arriving on Wednesday afternoon. And away we go!
The first practice, at the Mills Hills, will be Thursday morning.
Yes, I know, we have this beautiful new track and all. But tradition is tradition. Plus, it IS cross country season!
Will we be on the North Field Track more frequently this fall than in previous XC seasons? I think the short answer to that is YES. We have a home now. Might as well use it!
But long runs, tempo runs, tempo workouts, etc., will still be the domain of previously used venues. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz. The FDR/Cator loop. Farm Lane. Minnewaska. Vassar Farm, where we will host our season-opening XC meet on Saturday, August 30.
The beginning of XC preseason marks the start of a 9-month journey through cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. It's a long grind and the train has to leave the station and head on down the tracks. Tomorrow's the day. Away we go ...
