I have limited time so I thought I would directly quote what the guys had to say about camp:
Andrew H.:
I have to admit that when we first got to camp, I was a little freaked out and like "why did coach bring us out 6 hours to go to a camp in the middle of nowhere with 6 kids?" and stuff like that, but actually, it was awesome!
...
We got in a great week of training, 47.5 miles for 5 days, which is not a ton of miles, but Matt and I were running about 6:20-6:40 pace for our normal runs, and 7:09 pace for the 10 miler. They had great speakers, we got a ton of running articles and such, and it was a great experience. I feel like Matt, Keith and I all grew as runners greatly this past week. The speakers and other campers motivated us and made us even more hungry to win a WCAC and State title.
Yeah, the food was pretty bad, and there were a couple mice in our cabin, but it was very much worth it. I would highly recommend it to runners in the future.
Matt:
Camp was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. As you said the food was of a rather low quality, but we didn't starve. The motivational speeches were realy good, and I wish the rest of the team had heard them too. The gatorade after every run was good and the 10 mile run was fast and fun. We had at least 2 mice in our cabin.
Keith:
Camp was pretty fun even though the food was pretty bad. We got in a lot of miles in the whole week. we would do 2 runs a day. The morning run would be around 3 and the evening run would be about 6. one day it was pouring rain and lightning so we had to cut it short. And on thursday we had a 10 mile race in the morning which i did in 75 something which was like a 7:30 pace. We ran to get ice cream that night. It was good. The three other kids at the camp were two seniors and one freshman. The two other seniors said that their pr was around 16:30 but i was faster than the other freshman. The camp was good overall.
Sounds like everyone had a good time. Time to get fired up!
