Hot Summer Bash Recap: As a whole, Davidson was ok for their first race with very slow training times leading up to the race.  We looked like a team that does not practice pack running.  Staying together and running a race plan is the true mark of a great team and we did not show any of this.  We may have run the first 700 meters too fast.  The middle of the race hurt to watch.  Colin and Garrett worked together and ran great races so we do know how to do this.  We will improve both our fitness and our team tactics as we move on.  Every team has to start somewhere and I guess a first race against teams who have raced is a good motivator for us to improve. 

 

It was nice to see the 9/10 team and the Open team finish as runner up to a very strong Trinity team.  We learned a lot about the 5K this week and the season is long.  Next stop will be the mega field Tiffin meet.  If we get into position and run as a team we should have a great day.

 

Looking Ahead:  This week Davidson will be going into our competition pattern.  Workouts will be consistent from here on.  Your bodies will begin to adjust and by Trinity we will be ready to go.

 

Outstanding Runners: Chris Egolf-9, Drew Sauvey-10, Isaac Getz-9, Paul Mendola-10, Adam Hoover-10, Colin Burdette-11, Garrett Knapik-12, Ahmed Abdi-12,  Eric Turney-12, Eric Lo-11, Alex Min-11 and Coburn Gillies-11

Tiffin Race Plan:  Davidson will run a Varsity A and Varsity B.  They are in different races along with an Open race.  This meet will have lots of teams and will be very competitive.  With the number of runners getting off of the start line, Davidson will have to stay connected.  Burdette and Knapik stay together and run at the back of the lead group about 10-12.  Hoover, Whitney, McKeown and Schlecht will STAY together and be patient.  You will work to be in a group about 30- to 40 at the 400 through  800.  I want a steady use of energy.  Do not panic in the first 800 to 1000,  I would like to see 76-2:38, then 2:30 for a 5:04-5:08.  The first mile is fast anyways.  Mile two will have the pack working together supporting each other.  Mile two to the finish is about moving through the people and having a great finish.  We need our top two in the top 7 with numbers 3-4-5 in the top 25 to 35 positions.

                       

Varsity B is about learning how to run a varsity race.  A Hoover should run smart and look for the top 25 by the 400 then go to work.  The rest of this team should keep their eyes on the Davidson runner ahead.
