Team Camp #2

We finished up pro team camp 2 of 4 last week and I think it was one of my best 10 ten days of training I've ever had. I consistently had great workouts in all three disciplines, but I was most excited with my progress on the bike.

Rocky Point TT#2
*I'm wearing red arm warmers, Chris Bagg is right in front of me.
*Damian and Phelippe are the two riders in front.


We rode Rocky point road twice in one workout, which is a 5 kilometer long, 1200 foot climb that we use to gauge fitness. I rode it 2 minutes faster than I did at December training camp, finishing in 18:58 with Chris Bagg, who set an awesome pace through the climb. It was pretty cool being able to hold his wheel and shut my brain off. I also smashed our 10 mile TT at Sauvie Island, improving my previous best wattage for the distance by 50 watts! I rode 23:25 for the ten miles, a huge all-time best. It really makes a difference being on the road instead of the computrainer when it comes to big efforts. For me at least :)

Damian (http://skinnyninja.blogspot.com/) has started to get the hang of our GOPRO video cameras, so hopefully we should have some sweet video footage of our training to put on our blogs and the Athletes lounge website! Stay posted!
