XC info 8/30/10

Posted on: Sunday, August 29, 2010
Hi all,
 
News for this week:
1. We'll have a parent meeting at 6 pm Monday--immediately after practice--at TVHS. I'll keep it short, but want to meet as many parents as possible, go over a few things and answer questions!
2. Workout plan is attached; while we have our first official meet Saturday, this is still a time where we need to focus on gaining fitness. Help us help your athlete by making sure they are eating, drinking and sleeping well this week!
3. The meet Saturday is at Arapahoe Co. Fairgrounds in Aurora, near E-470 on the southeast side of town. Pretty easy to get to. The bus will leave TVHS at 7:45 AM and we should return around 2:30-3:00. Schedule and some meet info here:
The varsity roster for this week is pretty well, but not 100%, set. We'll let the kids know for sure by Thursday. Everyone not running varsity will run in the open race.
4. Spirit pack orders are due Wednesday! Form is on the team web site.
5. We will have practice next Monday, at 9:00 AM. I know it's a holiday, but training time is paramount to our success right now!

Several things:

1. The annual spirit pack order form is under the team files tab. I need forms and cash returned by next Wednesday, Sept. 1.

2. We will have a parents' meeting next Monday after practice, at 6:00 pm, at school. Please try to attend! It will be brief.

3. This week's training plan is also on the site. Kids are in different groups based on ability and development. We make daily adjustments for illness, injury, etc; just wanted to give you the general plan. Note that this week, those scheduled to run at Devil's Backbone (groups 4-6) on Weds, we will meet at 6:30 pm at the trailhead. Those not (groups 1-3) will meet at 3:30 at TVHS.

4. I haven't received much (none in the past few days as I've brought it up at practice) interest from kids wanting to come camp on Saturday; if there's interest I need to know by tomorrow's practice. Otherwise, I'm going to cancel that part of the trip and just take the group on Friday (those going on Friday were notified today).

5. As of now, we have the largest team since I've been at TVHS--46 kids--and they're working hard and doing a good job. The first meet is a week from Saturday in Aurora! Everyone will be taking the bus down to race there. More details on that next week.

6. I e-mailed all this info as well--if you are not receiving e-mails from me, please send your address to coachtvcc@yahoo.com.
 


XC update 8/13/10

Hi all--a few things as the end of summer nears!

Frisbee with LHS is at 6:30 tonight--I've told the kids this week several things, but that is confirmed. Meet at the restroom area at North Lake Park.

We will meet tomorrow at 7 AM at TVHS to carpool to Redstone Canyon; should be back to TVHS around 10:00.

Official practice starts Monday; make sure you have your paperwork into Michele and a white card in hand when you come to practice! We will resume meeting at 3:30 by the cottages behind the gym. Come dressed, with water bottle and ready to go!

Next Friday is the Valley 5000; we won't have practice but I'd like as many of you as possible to run the race. Registration can be done online here:

We are going to go to a spot off of Lefthand Canyon for our camping trip in a couple weeks. The top 8-9 runners on both sides (I'll let the kids know who that is ASAP)  will come up with Coach Ayers and myself Friday at lunchtime and spend Friday evening discussing goals and getting our heads around the task at hand this season. Then, everyone else who wants to come up can join us Saturday AM and we'll camp as a big group Saturday night. here's a map of the general location:

We'll keep food, etc., very simple. The trip is about spending time together and thinking about the season ahead! I'll have more details in the next week or so.
