Some solid days in the bank

The training camp is coming to an end in a couple days.  We have been in Tucson for three weeks and have gotten in some great early season training.

Yesterday we started off the day with a 5000m swim practice...I am trying to think what we did but cannot remember.  All the practices and days blend into one...don't know which day we did what.  We then got all ready to climb Mt. Lemmon for the third time.  The first couple times we went up to mile 11.  This time we climbed up to mile 14 to which an amazing view was waiting for us.  I was able to get into a really good rhythm and climbed pretty good.  I had Simon and Johnny in tow and it was good to have some people to get up the climb with.  it took us 65 minutes to get to mile 14.  Drink and chocolate was waiting for us at the top from our sherpa joel.  We bundled up for the cold decent and rode easy home, got into some run clothes and finished the day off with a easy run.

This morning was another 5000m swim set.  A bunch of 800s neg split.  Then we did a fartlek run along a wash for 70min and finished the day off with a 60min spin.

Wow, my computer just shut down my internet browser and I thought that I lost all this...thank goodness for automatic saving!  I thought that I would have to type this all over...it would have been a much more condensed version....trust me!

Ok so here is some cool videos of crazy weather on mt lemmon.  It is taken from one of the University of Arizona webcam's.  Click here to check it out.

Also click here to check out pictures from the camp that coach joel has posted.  He has taken quite a few photos so there is lots to look at.
