Meet Site: Playstead Field at Franklin Park, Boston.
Bus Time: 2:30 PM
First race 4 PM until you hear different from me (could be 4:15)

Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: temperatures in the high 60s at race time, with winds from the east about 10 mph. Much more pleasant conditions than last Saturday in Newburyport. With the breeze, you'll want to wear more than just your uniform while warming up and cooling down. Let me repeat that: bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform.
• The race course will be the 5k (3.1 mile) course broken up into three equal chunks. A baton will be passed from one runner to the next in each three person team.
• The first runner on each team is responsible for getting a baton from me before their race; the last runner on each team is responsible for returning the baton to me. Unlike the relay meet on Saturday, we are providing our own batons for this one.
• After running your race and catching your breath and before the cooldown, you'll do 4-8 repetitions of 20 seconds hard followed by 40 seconds jog using the timer function on the team wristwatches.
• Return time to WHS is approximate, but we should be back by 6:30 or so.
What to bring:
• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• sunscreen
• 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 Challenge)
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 send me an e-mail. My address is llayam (at) hotmail (dot) com
