Dual Meet #3 - vs. Bedford, Boston Latin @ Franklin Park 10/4/17

Meet Site: Playstead Field at Franklin Park, Boston.

Bus Time: 2:30 PM, note the bus time

First race 4:15 PM unless you hear different from me

No JV races, there will be a boys race followed by a girls race

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: sunny, temperatures in the low to mid 70s with SW winds 10-15 mph. With the breeze, you'll want to wear more than just your uniform while warming up and cooling down.
• The race course will be the standard 5k layout. There's a link to the course map in the "Maps" sidebar to the right. STUDY THIS MAP particularly the three overlapping loops that comprise the course.

• After running your race and catching your breath, be sure to do a thorough cooldown jog of 15-20 minutes. This is your chance to see more of the park if you like. 
• Return time to WHS is approximate, but we should be back by 6:30 or so depending on traffic.

What to bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• water bottle - including a larger (24-32 oz.) bottle if you have one
• snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)

for parents:

• There's a small parking lot at the corner of Circuit Drive and Pierpont Road; there's also a larger lot further down Circuit Drive, as well as on-street parking on Circuit Drive.
• If you're going to be at the meet and would like to take your child with you when their race is over, please let one of the coaches know.
