WOLVERINES​​

KEY LEARNINGS

> You can't over power the mud.

> Hard to find the right pace and place in big giant fields.  397 guys in JV race!

> Warm humid weather plus empty or poorly prepped stomachs = puke.  Water + white bagel pre race = perfect.

> Guys varsity has to find a way to tighten up the 1-5 gap.  :20, while small for most teams, won't work for us.

> JV guys get another W.   Great work with several key guys out.

> Great job to the handful of guys who managed to PR

> Look at mile 1 split versus average pace.   About :10 fast mile 1 is often optimal for many.​

> If your average is less than :10 slower than mile 1, speed up!  Take a risk!

> if your average is more than :15 slower than mile 1, you might need to dial it back some early.

​

> Freshman / sophomore guys.  What is your average 5K so far?

> How does that compare to this year's older fast guys when they were your age?

> Chances are you are staring a great journey and will end up faster than you think is possible.
