It's hard to believe it, but Camp 1 ends tonight - the campers fly out tomorrow AM and the new group arrives on Monday. We have a bunch of athletes staying for both sessions and that should be a blast! The weather has been perfect and spirits are high as huge gains have been made. This camp was fantastic - varied personalities and ability levels came together and the result was fantastic.
Today, after handing out some Valentine's day treats, we decided to split up into 2 riding groups. One group with the goal of a longer, harder day and the other, a lighter ride and run day. I led the group on a shorter ride of 2 1/2 hours and we included a nice hop up the Sanctuary Climb - this short climb (just about 1.5 miles is steep, switchbacks with bad pavement - great prep for St Croix as the gradient is insanely steep. The view up top was as glorious as I remembered - looking over the valley and into the mountains, spotting the Gypsy Head in the distance and reveling in the beauty of this 16th century structure. It's hard enough riding a bike up something like that - not to mention building up there!
Looking forward to another 11 days of training, but all the while missing my Valentine back home. Think I can petition to Hallmark for a date change?!
