We just got back from our preseason camp at Sun Valley Lake. We spent three days training on the roads and trails around the lake. The weather was great. Everyone showed up in pretty good shape and we had a great time swimming, fishing, going out on the paddle boats, playing badminton, tossing bean bags and getting to know each other. It was a great time watching all of the runners get to meet each other for the first time knowing that many of them were creating friendships that will last a lifetime. It was decided in a hotly contested game that Dylan and I are the best bean bag throwers. I missed the badminton championship so I am not sure who won. Ethan was in charge of the evening bonfires and Lou and I took care of the grilling. We spent one night setting team and personal goals and going over the point that the most important person on our team is our teammate. Everyone was very excited about heading to Spartanburg, South Carolina for nationals. It was one of the best camps we have ever had!! It was a great team builder.
