2006 Florida Triathlon Mini Camp #1

Link
Tuesday, December 27th
Got a super early start today with a 3am wake up call to make a 5am flight. I hate the early flights, but there is nothing like getting to your destination and having the whole day in front of you. My (wonderful) wife probably wants to kill me for making her drive me to the airport--on icy roads no less!--but when you are headed for winter mecca (see pool photo above), sometimes you have to answer the call.

I am in Clermont, Florida, and the photo above is from the National Training Center...man, I have only been to the pool and walked thru the rest, but it sure is nice. There is just something about swimming outside...almost makes it bearable! :)

Today's regimen was pretty easy as I acclimated... 60 mins in the pool followed by a 30 min easy run. Then it was off to Camp HQ to put my bike together and do a short (30 min) spin. All seems well...aside from a random message from my Power Tap, all is well. Getting ready for a bigger day tomorrow...

Stay tuned...
