“Intense” is a good summary for Epic Camp. And I mean intense in every way! It wasn't quite as intense as last time due to my wee injury, but it really is amazing to be in this environment with such strong athletes and great people, all of whom are pushing to their upper limits. Even though I suffered an injury and didn’t get to compete like I had intended (and by the way, my entire leg is now completely black and blue and I am sure other colours are soon to surface), I was still able to learn a lot about myself, about my limits and about how I cope with challenges put my way. I know that I have gained fitness, gained new motivation to continue to push myself to be the best triathlete I can be and I have formed new amazing friendships. This is a very unique and special experience that I feel lucky to have had a second time, and I will never take it for granted. I will also have lots of great stories to tell all my friends and family. Good times!
