Training Camp Update

Things have been going relatively well here in Victoria. Training has been pretty tough for a week after the half ironman on Sunday. The weather has been great and the energy out of the group has been amazing.
Monday was a pretty good recovery day with icing and a swim session at the lake. Tuesday was a some what of a recovery day with a 1hour run, 2hour ride, and a hard 5k swim session at the pool. Wednesday was a 2.5hour ride with a bunch of hill intervals and over gear work, a hard swim session at durance lake and a base run around elk lake. Yesterday was sort of an Uber day with a hard swim session in the morning (*8x50m start speed on 1min, 4x100m @racepace, 400m steady)x3, then Justin and i road 5hours with Simon Whitfield, Geoff Kabush, Max Plaxton. After the 5 hour ride we ran around the lake with some intervals. So 7.5hours of training and i was smashed.
Today we had a pretty hard swim session out at Thetis Lake and the afternoon is rest to get ready for the weekend ahead. Time to rest up:)
