EC:NZ'06 :: Day 7 :: Unimpaired Hard Cases

Oooooh doggie!

Not a particularly tough day for me today except in the context of the rest of the week and as a prelude to tomorrow. Much of the camp started with a hard half marathon. There were points available for top finishers and points to be had if you could guess your finish time closer than others wearing no watch. I don't have the full results of the race but can offer that the Baron finished first. Post run the official ride was a tough ride with four climbs. Total elevation gain was about 3500 to 4000 feet. Only the unimpaired hard cases did both of these events back to back. Guys like Clas, Molina, Albert Boyce (AG podium in Kona) and a couple others. Many of us did a 50min run, a flat 60k ride and a 3000 meter swim. It's worth noting that Scott is stringing together back to back to back tough days at camp right now. Pretty impressive stuff.

The last half of today everybody was talking about tomorrow; a 235k ride with headwinds. I have some angst about this one. It's a long ride witrh strong athletes and lots of elements to deal with. KEY day!

See Yaaa
