Goals for the 2016 Season
A little over a week ago we set down at our goal setting BBQ's as a TEAM and set the mission for the upcoming year. Since both the boys and girls came up with essentially the same goals I have put everything into just one TEAM goal setting document. Here it is:
I like these goals because they are going to be difficult to achieve! They are not the kinds of goals that we will accomplish just because we write them down on paper. They will take a lot of work, and consistent effort throughout the summer and fall for us to achieve them. But we can! If the entire TEAM does their part than anything is possible for us!
Print off a copy of the goal sheet, and post it somewhere in your house where you will see it several times a day as a reminder of what we are trying to achieve this year. Write in your own individual goals, whatever they may be, in the provided space. That way you are consistently reminded of what we can do as a TEAM, and what you want to accomplish as an individual this season.
At the bottom, you will see the things we need to do daily to achieve these goals. If we follow the process, and get a little better each day then achieving our goals this year are possible!
Gear Orders for the Fall
Gear orders for the fall are now available through Denver Athletic. The deadline to order is Sunday, June 26th by midnight. You will not be able to take advantage of the early gear order after this time. There will be a second opportunity to order in early August, but that gear will not be in until the end of September if you order at that time. By ordering now, you should receive your gear before our first meet in August

We would like all athletes, and parents, to have a neon green Vista Nation XC T-Shirt. Everything else is optional to order. Here are a few things to know about available gear:
- Neon Green Vista Nation Shirts: This is our standard shirt and one that every member of the team, including parents, should have. It is what we wear at every meet. Either the cotton shirt, or the performance shirt are fine to order.
- Pirate Jersey and Shorts: This is our official "Vista Nation XC" Club uniform, and what we wear in Arizona for NXR. If you plan on going on the NXR trip, I suggest purchasing one. We will have a few extras on hand for the championship race to loan out in AZ if needed, but not for the open races.
- Adidas Warm-Ups: We are giving everyone on the team the opportunity to purchase your warm-ups. Warm-up tops, and pants are optional.
- Additional Apparel: Hats, bags, additional T-Shirts, etc. are all available for purchase, but not required.

2016 Vista Summer Running Log Reminder
This summer we would like every member of the TEAM to log their summer miles. There are lots of ways to do this, but we are asking that at the very least everyone use the following link, and share it with the coaching staff. Here is how you will use it:
- Click on the Summer Mileage Tracking spreadsheet (link) that Coach Selle put together for us. Selle has made this so your weekly, monthly, and summer mileage will continuously add up for you...because Selle is the man!!!!
- Go to "File" and then "Make a copy" of the log, and rename it with your first/last name in the title (i.e. Jonathan Dalby Summer Mileage Tracking). You will need to log in with your DCSD account.
- High school runners, share your log w/ all 4 coaches by copying and pasting our email addresses in the shared link in the top right corner of the log ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
- Middle school runners can share their log with coaches Sprafke and Estell if you choose to keep one ([email protected], [email protected])
- After every run, take 15 seconds to input your days miles in Google Drive on the spreadsheet. You can do this at home, or from your phone.
- Go back and upload the first 2 weeks of runs in the app by the end of this week.
- At the end of the summer, those athletes that have consistently logged their miles everyday, and are consistently running everyday, will receive their Vista XC beanie and look super cool all the time!!! In order to earn your beanie you must log your miles everyday.
