This post is to assist anyone who is participating in our high school or middle summer XC programs to better understand what Final Surge is and how to get signed up if you need help.

• What is Final Surge?: Final Surge is the online training platform we are using to better coach all members of our high school and middle school teams this summer. Check out the video to learn more! https://vimeo.com/224378614
• Look for an email sent from "Final Surge". I sent these to each athlete's preferred email address that you used to register for the Vista Nation Summer XC Camp. Double check your junk mail folder if the notification did not go to your inbox. 
• I Already have an account w/ Final Surge: Great! If you already have an account with Final Surge you should have received a coaching invitation email. This will prompt you to log into your training log, click on the “Settings” link, and then accept us as your coaches. 
• This will be my first time using Final Surge: No problem! If the preferred email address you used for summer registration is not already associated with a current Final Surge account, an email will be sent prompting you to create a new account. It will also request that you accept your coaching invitation. You MUST ACCEPT your coaching invitation in order for the Vista and Mt. Ridge coaches to upload workouts into your training log. 
• What if I didn't receive an email invitation from Final Surge? Some athletes that used their DCSD email account at registration have not seen an invitation from Final Surge. Please check your junk mail folder. If it is not there, email me at jhdalby@dcsdk12.org and I will resend the invitation. Or, send me a different email address not associated with DCSD and I can get you set up that way. 
• What happens after I accept the coaching invitation?: Run, work hard, and have some fun! Once you are set up in Final Surge all of your workouts will be populated into your training calendar. We usually update these on Sunday nights for the week ahead. 
• Download the Final Surge App: It's free! You will be able to see your training runs, log the work you are putting in, and interact with the coaches from both the app and the desktop version of Final Surge.  https://www.finalsurge.com/apps
• What if I still need help? No problem! Email or call me and I will get you set up with Final Surge. Happy to help! jhdalby@dcsdk12.org

Welcome!
Welcome to the start of another summer of Vista Nation XC running! The coaches are excited to be getting started up with everyone again. Even though we cannot currently meet together as a group, we plan to coach you virtually until the School District tells us we can begin to meet again. So that everyone is in the loop, here is the latest news from The District about summer camps:​

• The Douglas County School District is currently not allowing summer sports camps to take place in person during the month of June. This may change, but for now we are not allowed to meet. 
• Throughout the entire season will be sending out workouts virtually through "The Final Surge". This will give our runners the chance to keep up with their running until in-person meetings are allowed again. This will also allow the coaches an opportunity to help you with your running. 
• The coaches will not be organizing group runs as a team until we are given the approval to do so. Until that time, teammates choosing to run together should continue to stay in groups of 10 or less, and always stay 6 feet apart. 

Final Surge Sign-up and App Download
Athletes that registered for the summer (both high school and middle school) should have received an email inviting you to be a part of "Vista Nation XC" virtual coaching through the final surge. This will be our primary way of coaching you virtually. Here is what needs to be completed:

1. Athletes should check their preferred email that they used at registration and look for an invite from the Final Surge to join Vista Nation XC. 
2. Once you have accepted the invitation, the coaches will add you to a training group.
3. Download the Final Surge to your smart phone. You will receive team notifications via the app along with comments to your training log from the coaches. 
4. Upload a picture to your Final Surge profile so that the coaches and your teammates know who you are.
5. Use Final Surge as your running log by uploading your runs everyday into the app or web platform. Coaches will be able to give you feedback virtually on your running. Only coaches can see your log, other teammates cannot.
6. Log your workouts everyday in Final Surge to earn your aerobic monster shirt (both high school and middle school runners) and to be eligible for the NXRSW 2020 trip to Arizona (High School Only). 

Summer HS Training Plans for Athletes
Each high school athlete on the team will be assigned a training plan this summer. I will start putting names on the plans this week once summer registration is complete. Here is a description of each plan. If you are unsure which plan to follow please contact one of the coaches for guidance: 

• Plan 1: New high school runners, or those needing to be on our lowest volume plan. Most freshmen will be in this group. This group will run 6 times a week. Athletes following Plan 1 will take all Sundays off from running.
• Plan 2: Athletes that have consistently followed Plan 1 plan during the last year w/ little to no injury issues. Sophomores that ran both XC and track will be ready for this plan. This group will typically run between 6 to 7 times per week depending on the individual needs of the athlete. Athletes following this plan will run on Sunday's or double occasionally during the week. 
• Plan 3: Upperclassmen athletes that are ready for a higher volume plan. Consistently followed plan 2 during the last year w/ little to no injury issues. Upperclassmen that ran both XC and track last year. This group will typically between 7 to 9 times per week depending on the individual needs of the athlete. Athletes following this plan will run on Sunday's or double during the week. 
• Plan 4: Upperclassmen athletes that are ready for our highest volume plan. Have successfully followed plan 3 over the last year w/ little to no injury issues. Have run both XC and track for the last 2 years. This group will run between 7 to 9 times per week depending on the needs of the individual athlete. Athletes following this plan will run on Sunday's and may double during the week. 

Training for June 1st-7th
Emphasis for week #1: Getting back into running. Keep everything at a conversational running pace this week. At the end of three of your runs this week you will do strides. 

Training will typically be posted for you in the Final Surge App. This will help you to know what your daily workouts are before you come to practice each day along w/ knowing what to run when you are out of town during the summer. However, for the first week workouts are posted in the Google Doc below to give everyone time to adjust to using the Final Surge.

• Summer XC Workouts: June 1st-7th 

Middle School Runners
Below is the link to the letter Coaches Estell and Sprafke sent out to you this weekend. Please take a look at the letter for special information about our middle school camp along with this weeks training. 

In addition, please make sure you accept the email invite to join The Final Surge!

• Middle School Summer Welcome Letter From Coaches Sprafke and Estell (link)

Summer Payment
If we are unable to meet in person this summer there will be no fee for the program, and athletes will continue to receive virtual workouts through The Final Surge free of charge.  ​

The fee for our summer XC program will be $100 this year. Our summer program is the main fundraiser for our team each year and how we afford things like additional coaching stipends, uniforms, meet transportation, etc.

We will not be collecting this fee until we are able to meet in person again. Hopefully in July. In addition, anyone who is unable to pay the $100 fee should contact Coach Dalby. No one will be turned away if you are unable to pay. 

Registration for Summer XC Training
Please complete the summer training registration form before May 29th if you plan to be a part of our summer XC program. Once registered, you will be sent a link to be a part of our online training platform on Final Surge. 

• ​2020 Summer XC Training and Final Surge Registration (link)

June and July Contact and Meeting
The Douglas County School District is not allowing summer sports camps to take place in person during the month of June. In addition, our coaching staff is not allowed to meet you off site for runs. We are hoping that we can get back to having in-person contact as a team starting in July and/or August.  As we get closer to July 1st, additional communication will be coming out once the school district gives us further direction. Until that time, we will be sending out workouts virtually through The Final Surge. This will give our runners the chance to keep up with their running until in-person meetings are allowed again. 
​
The Final Surge
After you have registered online an account to our new training app and online training log (The Final Surge) will be created for you by the coaches. This is where you will be able to view your workouts starting June 1st. We will no longer be using the Google Training document this summer, only The Final Surge. 

For those planning on attending the November NXRSW trip to Arizona you will be required to log your miles each day in The Final Surge in-order to be eligible to compete as part of Vista Nation XC in Casa Grande. 

Summer Payment
If we are unable to meet in person this summer there will be no fee for the program, and athletes will continue to receive virtual workouts through The Final Surge free of charge.  ​

Active Recovery: May 18th-31st

• Take 2 full weeks of active recovery between May 18th-31st. Let your body recuperate after a long season of training.
• Try to get in at least 60 minutes of activity a day. You can play basketball, hike, bike, or anything else that you enjoy doing.
• Running during this time is fine, but keep your runs to an easy 15 to 30 minutes a day. These minutes count as part of your 60 minutes of active recovery each day. 
• Our summer XC mileage buildup will begin on June 1st. Make sure you are registered so that the coaching staff can get you signed up on The Final Surge. All workouts will be posted here starting June 1st. 
• Active Recovery Schedule for May 18th-31st

New Aerobic Monster T-Shirts
The picture from the previous blog post is our new aerobic monster T-Shirt for the summer. I know...they are awesome! The A.B.C. (Always Be Closing) 1,2,3 (miles one, two, and three) slogan from last fall was the inspiration behind the Sesame Street theme, and our new aerobic monsters, Cookie Monster and the Count. Here is how you can earn one. 

1. Run all summer from June 1st to August 31st: Training plans will be sent out each week on The Final Surge. You will pick the one that works best for you with guidance from the coaches. Follow the plan and run everyday for 13 weeks. 
2. Log Your Miles in the Final Surge App: We are going to be using a new online training tool this summer on the website "The Final Surge." We are purchasing a team account, you do not need to register for this on your own. Everyday, you will be able to see your assigned individual training in Final Surge. You will then log your mileage on that day to keep track of all of your training throughout the summer months. This will also allow the coaches to be able to see your training and coach you remotely as needed. Anyone who wants to earn a new Aerobic Monster shirt MUST log their mileage in Final Surge. No paper logs this year.  
3. No Zeros: In order to earn a shirt you will have to log your mileage each day in order to become "An Aerobic Monster"! Taking a rest day on Sunday is fine, or days off for injury or sickness. Other than that, get your runs in! Even when you are on vacation. 
4. NXRSW 2020 Trip: For those that are planning to be a part of the Nike Cross Regional-Southwest trip this year you will need to log your miles through the entire season on Final Surge, not just the summer. This will be a requirement to attend the trip in the fall. 

Tentative Fall XC Schedule 

• Please look at the team calendar for current dates of the meets we plan to attend.
• Exact dates for the League Championships and Regional State Qualifier have not been confirmed yet. 
• Team Calendar  

Hi everyone. First of all, thank you for being so patient and understanding during these difficult times. I know this has not been easy for any of our athletes and families, especially the seniors, but the coaching staff is very grateful to have had such awesome support from all of you. 

Second, I have a list of things to cover and communicate to everyone in this blog post. This should cover most of the questions people have, but if I miss something please email me at jhdalby@dcsdk12.org. 

1. April 21st Statement from CHSAA 
   
2. Refunds for Track
3. Returning Uniforms
4. Picking up Gear Orders 
5. Summer XC Tentative Plans
6. New Aerobic Monster T-Shirts
7. Tentative Fall XC Schedule
8. Training and Time Off Before Summer XC Starts
9. Optional Workouts During the CHSAA Spring Moratorium

1. Statement From CHSAA About Spring 2020 Season Cancellation 
On April 21st, CHSAA released the following statement in regards to the end of the spring 2020 sports season: https://chsaanow.com/2020-04-21/spring-2020-season-cancelled-due-to-on-going-covid-19-pandemic/

2. Refunds for Track
Everyone should have been emailed by our Athletic Director, Mr. Flanigan, last week about spring refunds. As you already know, it has been decided by our district that we will not be completing our Spring Sports season as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Hopefully everyone in your family is safe and healthy.  It is our hope that we will be able to get back to sports soon.  

Douglas County School district has decided that participation fees from the district will be refunded.  The district participation fee is the $185 that is paid when you register for a sport.  The refund will just go back on the credit card you used or back to your account if you used e-Check.  Please be patient as the refunds are done at the school level and we have over 500 refunds to process.  Reach out to Autum Vitry, alvitry@dcsd12.org if you have questions. 

Thank you to all families that donated your $185 to the track team. As you know, times are hard for everyone and your gesture to let us keep the money in the program so that we can continue to move forward financially is much appreciated. 

3. Returning Uniforms
This is going to be a big task for us and I will need a lot of help from everyone in getting your uniforms back to us. When the school district finally allows for facilities to open back-up I will schedule a time for everyone to come by the track to drop your uniforms off. Until then, please keep them safe and we will collect them as soon as we can from everyone sometime this summer. 

4. Picking Up Gear Orders
For those of you that ordered track gear for the season from Denver Athletic it is still coming your way. I will get gear to athletes and families at the same time we do uniform returns. Please be on the lookout for a future email from me about when the gear order and uniform return will happen. 

5. Summer XC Tentative Plans
At the moment, we are on hold from the school district with being able to set official dates for summer XC. I will have information out at the beginning of May about registration and plans for the summer. Here are a few things to consider.

• Start Date: When outdoor facilities open back up we will start camp at the earliest date possible. For us, this would be the week of June 1st. However, until the government, CDC, and school district all give us approval to start meeting again you will have to socially distance run in small groups, or individually. We are hoping for the best, but please understand that we are going to take everyones safety and heath into consideration first. We will not start meeting again in groups until we have been given approval.
• Registration: We will have information out in early May about registering for the summer, but the coaching staff needs more information from the school district first. We are anticipating that we will receive that information by the end of April. However, we do plan to have some form of registration and payment available for everyone to take care of online soon. 
• The Final Surge: After you have registered online an account to our new training app and online training log (The Final Surge) will be created for you by the coaches. This is where you will be able to view your workouts starting June 1st. 
• Be Prepared: We may not be able to meet as a full team right away. Please be prepared for this. No matter what our situation is the coaching staff will provide workouts for everyone to follow so that you can prepare for the fall season. We may have to coach the team remotely for a time. If this is the case, every single member of the TEAM will still receive a summer training schedule from us that you can follow. 

6. New Aerobic Monster T-Shirts
The picture on the blog is our new aerobic monster T-Shirt for the summer. I know...they are awesome! The A.B.C. (Always Be Closing) 1,2,3 (miles one, two, and three) slogan from last fall was the inspiration behind the Sesame Street theme, and our new aerobic monsters, Cookie Monster and the Count. Here is how you can earn one. 

1. Run all summer from June 1st to August 31st: Training plans will be sent out like they always are. You will pick the one that works best for you with guidance from the coaches. Follow the plan and run everyday for 13 weeks. 
2. Log Your Miles in the Final Surge App: We are going to be using a new online training tool this summer on the website "The Final Surge." We are purchasing a team account, you do not need to register for this on your own. Everyday, you will be able to see your assigned individual training in Final Surge. You will then log your mileage on that day to keep track of all of your training throughout the summer months.

• Exact dates for the League Championships and Regional State Qualifier have not been confirmed yet.

8. Training and Time-Off Before XC Starts
Here is what the distance runners need to know about current training and when to take some down time.

1. The coaches will continue to update the training document each week for you until we make the switch over to Final Surge. 
2. We will continue to write workouts for the track season that you can do on your own, or in small groups, until May 17th. 
3. From May 18th to May 31st we will be doing active recovery. This will involve everyone getting in an hour of activity a day. Part of that activity will be a very small amount of running for a few weeks. Something like 15 to 30 minutes a day. More details to come when the time gets closer. 
4. We will start official XC training and our aerobic monster mileage count on June 1st. 
5. Anyone who is thinking about racing on the track in June (even if it's a time trial) simply needs to tell me. I will continue to write workouts for you to be ready for any race you would like to compete in. But please communicate your plans with me. ​

9. Optional Workouts During the CHSAA Spring Moratorium

Student Athletes MUST create an account with CHSAA using one of the following methods:

Also new since last year if you have any homeschooled, charter or online student athletes:

All students homeschooled, or enrolled in a private or charter school who wish to participate in an MVHS athletic team MUST complete paperwork to register as a Mountain Vista student for the purpose of extracurricular activities.  You will not be able to register for Spring sports until this paperwork has been completed and processed by the MVHS Registrar.
