Hello Shockwaves-

This will be the first chance for our Shockwaves to stretch their legs in a practice race atmosphere. We will hold both a 2K and 3K time trial distance this Saturday morning.

To confirm, this event will only be held with our Shockwaves team, no other teams will participate in the time trial…as always, Shockwaves siblings and or Shockwaves who have participated in past seasons may participate in this Shockwaves directed event.

As this is a time trial and basically a glorified Shockwaves practice, there will not be any awards (shiny ribbons or medals) provided.

Showtime to the park for our athletes will be 0930. We will go through our pre race warmup process from 0930-0955 and then kick off the time trial at 1000.

If you already have your Shockwaves uniform you may wear it for this event; however, since this is only a time trial and not all of our Shockwaves have a uniform at this time, wearing the uniform won’t be a hard requirement.

Friday’s practice is now scheduled at Van Patten Woods and during this practice we will jog and then run through the 2K and 3K courses.

We will need 4-6 parent volunteers to assist in finish line timing, split timing at the 1K and 2K marks and course marshaling in the two sections of the course where athletes are required to cross the road that road/parking area that dissects the two sections of the park.

Contact Coach Nick Freese or Coach Shannon Freese if you are interested in helping in one of these timing/course marshaling activities.
