Training camp

I just finished 5 days of training in Ok falls with Pacific Rim coaches and the iron cop crew from Vancouver. First day for me was a lactate threshold test. This test basically finds out the point where your body can fully process the lactate acid it produces as you exercise. After that we were off for a short swim. The next day was 130 km ride on the IMC course, ,excluding the penticton area. This was followed by a 30 min run off the bike. Friday we started early and ran the second half of the marathon course. We then swam in Okanagan lake for 60 min. Later that day we went for one hour and half recovery ride. Saturday was the big day, as we would ride the entire IMC course, 180 km in blistering heat reaching 40 degrees. At the end, a 30 min run off the bike would await us. It was really hot but it was great training. Rebecca was also at the camp and she did awesome, especially on the bike. She should be in fine form for the big day. As for the last day of the camp, another one hour and half recovery ride. Final tally, over 400 km of riding, half marathon running and plenty of Heath training. This week will be a bit lighter on volume and then one more big week of training. 3 weeks of taper after that and the big day should be upon us. I can't believe we are only a month away from IMC! Happy trail
