Phoenix 2020 XC Team Store
    - Store Open From: July 27 - August 3, 2020

July 27th - Aug. 1st

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Pioneer day weekend. Great job to everyone who was in town and came to practice on Friday. We saw some great times posted with lots of improvements. Check out the "Nerd Report" on the tabs to the left to see your improvement if you can't remember. We had not only a new boys course record set but we had 3 boys beat the previous course record. We've done all this with mostly just base work. Keep being consistent and we'll see some wonderful things happen this season.

Camp registration has closed and we have a good group going. Here is the Map and Itinerary for camp as well as the actual registration form. I need everyone to bring me the 3rd page printed and filled out to practice this week before we go to camp next Monday (the 3rd). In addition to running attire and other play clothes you will be responsible for bringing your own tents/pads and sleeping bags and/or pillows and blankets to sleep. Boys and girls will have different camp locations. If you aren't able to bring a big tent to be socially distant from your neighbors, bring your own tent to make sure we aren't getting too close to others at the camp. Pack your masks!!

We also have the Phoenix 5k coming up in under two weeks (August 8th). If you haven't yet, please go on and fill out the 2020 Phoenix 5k Registration Form so I know who is planning on going. Start bringing those prizes in to practice and get those sponsors coming in. I need to have all the sponsors logos in to me by Thursday night to ensure they get on our t shirts. 

ELIGIBILITY - If you need a physical tomorrow night (Monday July 27th) there is a fall sports physical night for only $25. All the funds go back to the school. This is actually going to be at the high school in the wrestling room at 6:00 PM. This is a fast and easy way to get your physical for the year knocked out. If you aren't going to go, make sure you have a physical scheduled with your doctor ASAP as eligibility is due on August 5th. Go on and get your Register My Athlete done.

XC Camp August 3rd

Info on XC Summer Camp 2020. This is optional but would love as many who would like to come. Cost is $30 and can be paid into the front office or online. Cost covers meals on Monday and Breakfast Tuesday morning as well as a t-shirt. I need to know who is going so we have a count on Numbers by this Thursday at 5:00 PM. So please go and fill out this XC Camp 2020 Registration Form so I know who is coming and I can just add the $30 fee to your MyDSD. I will still need the hard copy of the registration form so just mark on there that you are paying online. Bring this to practice ASAP.

Here is the Map and Itinerary for camp as well as the actual registration form.

In addition to running attire and other play clothes you will be responsible for bringing your own tents/pads and sleeping bags and/or pillows and blankets to sleep. Boys and girls will have different camp locations.

July 20th - 25th

Thanks again for those who are keeping their social distancing and helping ensure we have a season. You guys have been getting after it on the training and it will pay off. Keep up the good work.

For camp this year it will be in Howell, Utah and it will be on Monday August 3rd into Tuesday August 4th (Itinerary coming VERY soon). Cost will be $30 a person and again this is optional. The cost will cover meals on Monday and breakfast Tuesday as well as a camp t-shirt. You will need to provide your own transportation there on Monday and back home on Tuesday. 

Phoenix 5k is coming up VERY SOON. Please get out and gather prizes and bring them to practice. Also get your sponsors soon so we can get their logos on the back of our shirts and we have to have those logos in to us by Thursday July 30th. Please don't wait. 

Also I need to get t-shirt sizes going and know who to plan on for the race so please fill out this Phoenix 5k Registration so I know to plan on you coming to our race. If you are on the team and you bring your 5 prizes, you do not have to pay for the race. If you don't get the prizes you will need to pay for the race yourself. Also share that link with your family and friends so they can get pre-registered for the race.

We are under 4 weeks away from our Phoenix 5k. August 8th is the date. Race starts at 7 AM. Tell your friends and start getting prizes/sponsors. Go to the Phoenix 5k Page for more info. Thanks again for those logging their miles on Strava. Please please please make sure you log all of your runs. If you have any issues or questions about your training or injuries don't hesitate to ask one of the coaches. That's why we are here!!

A few reminders about the Corona Virus. We need to make sure we do our part. We are the Farmington Phoenix and we lead by example (especially the cross country team). We need to remember to follow social distancing guidelines at all times (Before practice, during core, runs, stretching). We are planning on still having our season this year but all it will take is a few not taking this seriously and we may likely see ourselves without a season. Regardless of how you feel personally, please don't jeopardize the health and safety of others and potentially our season. If we could do a little better about our social distancing that would be great. You guys are the BEST!

Mileage wise this week will depend on how you are feeling. If you are feeling a little tired this week, keep your mileage the same as last week. If you are feeling okay, increase it 10% from last week.

Hey Phoenix XC!! Hopefully everyone had a great 4th of July and stayed safe. We are back at it this week so hopefully you didn't take last week off..... If you forgot to log your miles from last week on Strava, please go on and do that. Keep coming to practice as much as you can and if you can't make it talk to a coach and get your runs in wherever you go.

A few things to put on your radar. I am trying to finalize things for a cross country camp and I may have found a place that we can go and camp out but it would be a week later than originally planned. This would be an optional camp like before but would be on Monday August 3rd until Tuesday August 4th. We may still likely do some camp type things close by on July 27th-29th but we will likely not do any overnight camping until August 3rd. More details to come as things are finalized and final approval is given but that is what we are looking at for camp so if you can mark those days on your calendar that would be great.

The Phoenix 5k is August 8th, 2020. We are still planning on it and we need to start getting word out. Talk to your friends and family and get them to come (Flyer Coming Soon). We also need to start getting sponsors and prizes for the race. Go to the Phoenix 5k page for more info on what to do but we need to get on this ASAP. It will be here before we know it.
