Dual Meet #3 @Waltham, 10/2/19

Meet Site: Waltham High School, 99 Jacks Way. Waltham

Bus leaves at 2:45

Two races--Boys will race first followed by girls. Boys will race no earlier than 4 PM.

Course Map:

The course begins on the turf field just down the hill from the high school building. Upon exiting the field, runners climb the hill on Jacks Way before entering the woods on the left. The course then follows a loop in the woods (pay attention on the tour to which trail is the course and which trails are not) before returning to Jacks Way and then the turf field where the race finishes.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: Cloudy, temperatures in the low to mid 70s with N wind about 10 mph. Temperature on the warm side but overcast and wind will keep it from feeling that hot. Bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform. In addition, bring a plastic bag to keep your clothes and bag dry when not being worn.
• It's expected that during the race you will wear the full uniform assigned to you. 
• The Waltham coach reports that the course is not suitable for spike elements in your racing shoes. If you have spiked racing shoes the spike elements should be replaced with blanks or 1/8" pyramids. If you wore longer spike elements in your racing shoes this past weekend at Wrentham, remove them Tuesday evening before going to bed. Do not wait until the bus ride Wednesday, after we arrive at Waltham, etc.
• You'll need to wear your assigned bib number which is the same number you wore in last week's meet . After your race and before you leave, please return this bib number to the ziploc bag that holds the bib numbers and safety pins, which is in turn kept inside the large red duffel bag.
• There will be a course tour sometime soon after we arrive.

• uniform
