Week of September 1st.

Good Morning and Happy Labor Day Weekend! Hope everyone is enjoying the day!!  Here is some information for the upcoming week as we start back to school.

Practice Monday will be at 6:30pm on the West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot.  Then, starting Tuesday we will be on our school schedule for practices, where for those at the high school, we will meet at the weight room at 2:25, unless otherwise stated, and then everyone will meet at 3:15 on the West end of the Tennis Court Lot, giving the Middle School runners time after school to get ready.  Expect practices to last until about 5:00 every day we have practice.

Thursday this week, September 4th, is our next meet, the Bauman/Rovn Invite at Gail Woods in Minnetrista.  Directions to the course are below, but know that they are always posted in the Parent Handbook on the right side of the blog. Once I get the time schedule, I will get that out to everyone.  In the past, the first race starts at 4:00 and the last one at 6:30, so expect this to be a later evening for getting home.  Runners are allowed to go home with parents, but we need notification from a parent prior to the meet and we would like for the runners to stay until their teammates have completed their races.

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Bauman/Rovn Invitational: Gail Woods: 7210 County Rd 110 W, Minnetrista, 55364.  Highway 10 east to Hwy 610 and continue to Hwy 169 South.  Take 169 South to I94 West and follow to I494 South.

District 11/ABC Early Bird Invite Results

The results from today's races at Anoka High School, both our individual and the overall results, are now posted on the right side of the blog.

Good weather led to a good start to the racing season.  It was a good way for our new runners to get a race in and for our returning runners to get back into the swing of racing.  The boys race was very competitive, while the girls teams are strong up and coming teams.  Both of our teams finished in 5th out of the 5 teams, with our boys team missing one of our top 2 runners.  It is a major overall on the boys team and despite the team placing, there was a lot of improvements, with 12 of the 16 boys running Personal Bests (PR's)!!  With our girls, it is a group that is still developing and fighting to get to where they all would like to be as individuals.  4 of the 12 girls also ran PR's while many others started the season off with solid performances.  We know that there was a lot left out on the course, and we are ok with that at this stage of the year.  We are still ramping everyone up as we prepare them to start zoning in on their goals, so we aren't expecting the runners to have been at their bests today.  That so many were able to run PR's is a testament the work that they are all putting in.

Our top runner on the day was Ruby, finishing in a solid 3rd place overall, just 30 seconds off of her fastest time from last year!  The top boy was Dagi, who battled some illness the last part of the race to finish in 21st place.

Next up is the Bauman/Rovn Invite at Gail Woods on Thursday, Sep. 4.  Info on the race and who will be in which race will be posted later.

Thanks to all of those who came out and supported the runners today!!

Week of August 25

There are a few items in this post, so please read through the whole post.

To help with those putting together food for the pasta parties (which there are still openings, please look through them), if your athletes has any allergies, can you please fill out this form.  This will also help with the end of season banquet: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZZesbmaXlI8krcHqYgxskvxmy4WiGxLZ7jtxK6LcJlM6z5w/viewform?usp=sf_link

We are starting a fundraiser this week that is a little different than any we have done in the past.  We will be collecting and recycling used running shoes and sending them to GotSneakers! where they can either recycle the shoes or reuse them, depending on the condition the shoe is in.  For each pair of running shoe that we collect and send in, we will receive between $1 and $7, depending on the condition.  We have not set an end date yet, but we will collect for at least two weeks so the runners can be collecting at school as well.  There are a few details we will need to decide on with the runners, but if you have any, or know of anyone that has some old running shoes, please start sending them to practice. As we get closer to the end of when our campaign will end, we will send out any other details.

Below are the locations for our practices this week as well as the basic info for our first meet on Thursday.  We will be getting uniforms on Wednesday, August 27 at 2:45 in the equipment room downstairs.  Please enter through Door 16.  If there is someone that is not able to be there for uniform hand out, please let me know so we can set up a plan to make sure you get your uniform.

The plan for practices is to be done by 5:00 Monday through Wednesday.
Monday: Meet at CR Soccer Complex, near the recycling center at 3:15.
Tuesday: Meet at west end of Tennis Courts at 3:15.
Wednesday: Uniform Hand Out at 2:45; Meet at west end of Tennis Courts at 3:15.
Thursday: District 11 Meet - Bus leaves at 7:00am, Girls race at 8:30, Boys race at 9:15.
Friday: Meet at CRHS west end of Tennis Courts at 8:00am.

Thursday is our first meet of the season and it is on the south end of Anoka High School.  The Girls will be racing at 8:30 and the Boys will be at racing at 9:15.  Everyone will be racing 5K and you will be able to see results online shortly after your runner finishes.  Once I get the link for the races, I will send it out

As for spectating, this is a good course to see the runners in a couple of spots without having to do too much running.  It will be a two lap course with the start and finish being in the general same area.  They also highly recommend that no dogs are brought onto the course.

Also note, we will meet at 6:30pm on Monday, September 2nd for practice, west end of the Tennis Courts, to allow those heading out of town for the weekend the opportunity to get home without rushing.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Time Trial Results

Thank you to all of the parents and our alumni for coming out tonight for the time trial.  The weather was a little steamy, but everyone worked hard and put in some solid efforts.  The times/results are now posted on the right side of the blog, but if there are any times that are off, please let me know so I can correct them.  There were a bunch that came through around the same time and it threw me off a bit! Hahaha!

One other item that was not discussed tonight, but should've been is the team pasta parties.  The long tradition of Pasta Parties the night before our meets is a great way for the runners to bond but also a great way for our parents to see what a great group of student/athletes these runners are!  We have started putting together this years schedule and there is one of the dates on the schedule that is filled, but we would like to try and get as many of them filled as possible.  There are a few parents who have done this in the past that can definitely give more details as to what goes into these gatherings, so don't feel you can't do one since you haven't in the past.  Also, unless you are wanting to, there can be separate Girls and Boys gatherings.  If you would like to host one of the openings, please let me know and I will put down your name and keep it under the Pasta Party Schedule on the right side of the blog.  Please check out the schedule below.

Thanks again, and up next is the District 11 Meet next Thursday at Anoka High School.  Information for the meet will go out over the weekend.  

Thanks,
Denny

Week of August 18

Here are the times and locations for our practices this week, as well as a link to the workouts.  Expect practices to be about an hour and a half long.    

New for the Boys this year is that they will be joining the Girls on Tuesday evening to do their annual Bike and Run from Anoka Ramsey CC.  This is a fun, costume workout that usually turns competitive, with each runner having a partner and alternating every mile for 6 miles running and biking (each will run 3 miles and bike 3 miles).  Parents are welcomed to come watch and cheer on the runners.  The course will go down Mississippi Blvd towards the CR Dam and back.  I will have the course details for everyone on Tuesday evening.  We will want everyone in the AR parking lot near the baseball field by 5:45.  

Also note that the team time trial is this coming Thursday (open to alumni to compete in as well!!).  We will start at 6:00pm, and at this time, due to some of our current girls not being able to be there, we will run the boys and girls together, with our alumni as well.  We would like to have the runners at Riverview Park by 5:15 for warm ups, but then we will also have a quick parent meeting at 5:45 for an introduction and to be able to answer any questions.  Here also is the address for Riverview Park (Parking is on the south side of 105th, we meet on the north side):
2420 105th Ave NW

Here is a link to our workouts:

Air Quality

We will be paying attention to the air quality for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. It looks like we will be ok, but we will be paying attention to everyone and how they feel and how their breathing is. 

Saturday, August 9, 2025

First Day, First Week of the Season

The first day of the season is here and we will be getting things going Monday morning at the CR Dam, meeting at the picnic tables behind the Visitor Center by the boat launch.  The weather this first week looks positive and should be good for the training we would like to get the runners.  It will be still warm and humid, so we will be watching how everyone is doing and will adjust any workouts if we feel it would be more beneficial.  Also, please bring water, not only for after, but during the workouts.  A good option if you don't have a running water bottle, would be the store bought 16oz waters, and to use the grip handles we handed out to last years team (we will have these on Monday for the new runners)

Here are the times and locations, though, for the first week of practice.  I will be giving out a more detailed schedule as well as other information to the runners after the first practice Monday.  Monday's practice will be about 2 hours long, the rest of the morning practices will be between an hour 15 and an hour and a half long.  Evening practices will have a different focus, mainly recovery, weight training, and a little more fun.  We understand if not everyone can make these practices due to family obligations, but they are still important practices.  These practices will be about an hour 15 mins long 

Also, please remember that runners need to be signed up before they can come to practices!  The final day to sign up to be legal for Varsity at Sections is Monday, September1st and the last day to sign up for the season in general will be Friday, September 5th.  If there are any questions, please let me know.  

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Thanks
Denny

Summer Practices: Week of June 9

Below is the locations for our practices for the Week of June 10.  We will be starting each practice at 8:00am.  If you are someone in need of a ride, please let me or one of the captains know so we can help line up a ride for you.  Also, if you are unable to make any of the practices, and you do not have a summer workout sheet, please click on this link  or click on the link on the right side of the blog to get one.  Expect total time for these practices to be between 1 hour and an hour and 15 minutes.

These practices are a great way to get ready for the season and to be in a better position to reach goals, but we are also wanting these to be a way for those interested in joining the opportunity to see what our sport and team are all about.  

Monday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1
Tuesday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot
Wednesday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot
Thursday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1
Friday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot

Lastly, for those that signed up for the Lutsen Running Camp, the total cost is going to be $240.  This cost is higher than what will probably be needed, but we are overestimating at this time to make sure we have enough in case gas and/or food prices are higher.  Any money that is left over will be given back after camp.  You can also start making payments or pay for the whole thing.  Please look for me on PayPal or Venmo.

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,

2025 Summer Training

As we get ready for the end of the school year, we start to prep ourselves for summer training and getting ready for the 2025 CC Season.

We will be starting our summer training on Monday, June 2nd (We can work with the athletes from June 1st-July 31st, minus a week over the 4th of July), and we will be going at 3:15 Monday-Friday that week so that anyone that is a Middle Schooler and interested in either joining or ready for their summer training can be apart of it.  Friday the 6th, we will discuss with those that are able to be there to see what time works best.  Starting June 9th, we will be having our practice time be at 8:00am, to beat any heat, Monday through Friday.  Locations for practices for the upcoming week will be posted a couple of days before the beginning of the week.

One item that will need to be looked at for each athlete individually is when to begin their training.  If someone is still competing in an activity at the time we begin practices, we want them to focus on that.  If it is an activity, like Track, that just finished the week before, we want those runners to take some time off, at least a week, if not two, before they join us for practices.  The first week of practice is for those that were not in a spring activity or have been done for at least a week.  Rest and recovery from previous activities is just as important as building up mileage.  If there is anyone that is not sure what they should do, please contact me and we can discuss what should be done.

If there are any questions, please let me know.

Thanks and enjoy the rest of the school year!

2025 Summer Running Camp

We as a Coaches are wanting to set up a Summer Running Camp that we are offering up to the whole team, and based on the previous survey, a trip to the North Shore and staying at Lutsen Mt is what we are going to try and plan.  We would set the camp up for the last full week of July, starting on July 28th.  Originally we were thinking of a 4 day/3 night trip, but due to the current costs of lodging and the inexperience of our team, we have decided to go with a 3 day/2 night trip to make sure we don't put too much work on the runners, especially the younger team members. 

One thing, however, in order to have a more definitive cost, we need to know how many people will be coming.  This could limit the number of possible new members to the team, but in order to assure lodging, we need to know sooner than later how many will be going.  So, we are asking that those that are planning to attend to please fill out the form below by April 30th!!  If there are new members that current members know about, it is ok for them to sign up as well so we know the numbers, so please forward this onto possible new members.  There will be some leeway on the numbers, but the sooner we know an exact number the sooner we can finalize the cost of camp (3 years ago, this trip for the same amount of time was $210/person).  If you are a parent and would like to chaperone/drive, please let us know as well.
