Welcome to the Team!

 Hey, Team! 

I hope everyone has been having a great summer, hopefully finding some new ways to spend time outside! 

First off, welcome everyone to the SOD Team, and congratulations to all of you for the hard work you put in last year to get you here!

I apologize for the lack of communication over the summer - it's been crazy times, as I'm sure many of you have experienced. Due to COVID-19, we do not have concrete plans for camps in the Fall and Winter, but here are some ideas moving forward:

1) Mid-September: Online meet-and-greet, goal-setting workshop and more! We will also try to give out some more information about the camps at this point, as well as let you know the procedures and expectations for the camps pertaining to COVID safety measures. 

2) Fall Camp: We are hoping to have a Fall camp in-person, and will be closely monitoring the progression of COVID as we get closer to the camp date. The current plan is still to have the camp on October 17th, location TBD.

3) Winter Camp: A date has not been set for the winter camp yet, but we hope to have one soon! To minimize date changes and scheduling conflicts, the plan is to wait until the release of the racing schedule for the year before choosing a camp date. 

In the meantime, please send in any suggestions for topics you would like to be discussed in the September workshop, or things that you would like to see at the camps this year! I would love to hear from you to make sure that you're learning about things that you're interested in. This can be anything from nutrition to race-day nerves to training during COVID. If you have any ideas for the fall and winter camp as well, please let us know! 

Can't wait to meet you all in a few weeks!
