I'm 3 days past the 10 day Athletes Lounge Elite Team Training Camp and I'm starting to feel like I'm bouncing back from the fatigue. Most people would think that a 10 day training camp in Portland, Oregon in December is absurd, but by the time camp had wrapped up we had logged several 4 hour bike rides, a 2 hour run, and multiple swim sessions with 1500 meters of race-speed, plus many other workouts in all 3 disciplines for a total of 35 hours of training.I learned some things about myself and my team mates as I worked through the biggest triathlon training load I've ever done. There were great times on the computrainers, watching UFC during power intervals, and there's no better way to bond than riding for 2 hours in rainy, 38 degree weather. Most of the bonding actually occurs while complaining about the weather :)
I had a phenomenal camp based on my swim times in the pool, power numbers on the bike, and a completely pain-free week on the run!
..Highlights..
-On the first 4 hour ride, I hit my highest wattage ever in ever single time bracket from 30 seconds to 2 hours!
-I nailed a new computrainer power max at 880 watts (it's harder to put out big numbers on a stationary trainer)
-I swam 500 yards in the pool in 5:08, a three second improvement.
HUGE thanks to Athletes Lounge for putting on the camp, Kreger Chiropractic and Classic Body Restoration for k-I nailed a new computrainer power max at 880 watts (it's harder to put out big numbers on a stationary trainer)
-I swam 500 yards in the pool in 5:08, a three second improvement.
eeping my body functioning, and my Mom for unbelievable dinners at the end of long training days! Couldn't do this training without my awesome support team!
