Conserving energy

Like swimmers, runners taper their workouts leading up to big meets. In preparation for Saturday's regional championships at Twin Brook Recreational Area in Cumberland, the Cape Elizabeth girls cross country team has cut down on its mileage, gotten more rest and cut its workout nearly in half this week.

***

This weekend will be one of the busiest for high school sports with regional cross country, playoffs in soccer and field hockey and the final weekend of the regular season for Western A and Eastern B football. But will the forecast cooperate? The National Weather Service has rain in the forecast for Friday and Saturday.

***

One more thing ... keep an eye out for a "Fitzpatrick Watch" post some time Friday afternoon.

Rachel is in her fourth year as a sports reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. A Maryland native and a former college soccer and softball player, she covered high school and college sports at newspapers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado before joining the Press Herald/Sunday Telegram staff in June of 2004.

She grew up watching the NHL, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Georgetown basketball and the Baltimore Orioles and is a confessed sports nut. Her interests include reading and movies, going to the gym, Motown and '70s R&B music and following the New York City tabloids.

Married in July, she and her husband Tommy are avid Steelers and Kansas Jayhawks fans. Their toughest decision as newlyweds has been "NESN or ESPN?"
