We were very conscientious about only meeting those 4 days until week 6. We met more during the final week of build, went back to the 4 day schedule, and then did more like 5-6 as we got deeper into the season. We tried to make sure we left at 11 pm at the latest most nights, which we did a reasonably good job of during the build period and a less good job of as we got into competition season.

On the whole it was much better than previous years in which we worked 7 days a week the entire season, often until 2 am or later every Friday/Saturday.

What prompted you to do that? Change of venue? Mentor/student burnout?

It's not sustainable and you aren't very productive when you've been there that many days in a row for that long each day.
