Questions: Round 3

Team Activities

• Can we have summer pasta parties?
• T-STANK. LET'S HAVE SOMETHING TO REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO ONCE WE GET IN THE SEASON OF XC. YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL BURNED OUT ON PASTA PARTIES WHEN THE SEASON STARTS. PERHAPS YOU MIGHT CONSIDER HAVING POST-RUN BREAKFAST PARTIES EITHER AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE, A COFFEE SHOP, BLONDIE'S OR EVEN BRING BAGELS TO ONE OF THE PRACTICES DURING THE SUMMER. THIS MIGHT SATISFY YOUR DESIRE TO TEAM BOND UNTIL PASTA PARTIES START IN THE FALL. LET'S FOR SURE HAVE A PASTA PARTY BEFORE 'THE LEGEND' RACE!
  
• Are we going to have pasta parties?
• CAMPA. I HOPE SO. THE TEAM MEMBERS LOVE THEM--IT JUST DEPENDS ON IF ENOUGH
  FAMILIES WANT TO SPONSOR THEM.
  
• Camping on course (team bonding)?
• MR. STANKO. ORGANIZING EVENTS LIKE THIS IN THE SUMMER IS 100% IN THE HANDS OF THE ATHLETES. WE ENCOURAGE UPPERCLASSMEN TO TAKE CHARGE AND BUILD A STRONG TEAM IN THE OFF SEASON WITH FUN EVENTS. AND, BECAUSE IT'S ON SCHOOL PROPERTY YOU WOULD NEED TO CHECK-IN WITH ADMINISTRATION.
  
• What are the requirements for team camp? How much is team camp?
  
• MR. STANKO. INFORMATION ON TEAM CAMP CAN BE FOUND AT http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AW5k7_aap0myZHF3Y3IyZl82M2RjZmNzcmNo&hl=en. THIS LINK IS ALSO POSTED ON THE TEAM WEBSITE. http://haslett.k12.mi.us/stanko
  
• Is team camp a lot of fun?
• CAMPA. YES!!!!! A HIGHLIGHT OF THE SUMMER BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON. IT IS
  SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD STRIVE FOR DURING THEIR SUMMER TRAINING.
  
• We should do a summer triathlon for fun?
• MR. STANKO. IF A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WANT TO PICK A TRIATHLON TO DO IN THE SUMMER - THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
  
• We should run a midnight mile.
• T-STANK. OH, RIGHT. AND MAYBE WE SHOULD RUN ACROSS THE FROZEN LAKE IN THE WINTER. P.S. DON'T LET MRS. STANKO KNOW
