Important Dates & Monday Plan

Here are some important dates to keep in mind.

August 1- ALL physical paperwork should be into RBR today, if it is not get it in ASAP. NO EXCUSES. Not handing it in on time to be cleared for official practices could mean you aren't cleared for time trials and therefore not able to make Varsity for start of the season.

August 10 -17 from 1-5: ALL freshman, juniors, and 1st season RBR athletes must go to one of these two days to do baseline concussion testing. If you don't do your baseline concussion testing, no participating in RBR sports. It is that simple. If for some reason you can't make these dates please contact our athlete trainer Christina Emrich (cemrich@rbrhs.org)

August 15: Start of official practice. Attendance is MANDATORY (even if injured). Absences must be excused in advance by Coach Desiere. Unexcused absences will be tallied & will result in suspension from races.

Today Monday, August 1st we did an out and back run. This one is very simple. Run out in one direction 25 minutes (freshman 20 minutes) and try to run back to the starting point faster than you got there.

All should finish with 5 strides and 1 minute of the core and ab routine.

Tip of the day: “You must listen to your body. Run through annoyance, but not through pain.” —Dr. George Sheehan
