After being out of my "routine" for a week, I'm glad to be back to what I call normal. It's been nice sitting down with my wife over the last few evenings eating our staple meal, spinach salad with a variety of veggies, seeds, etc. I might actually cook a meal tonight... or not.
Looking back at the camp, I ate as clean as I could except in the final days. Truth be told, I really only fell off the proverbial wagon while out on the road on the final day. I ate half a muffin and some cookies but other than that, I managed to eat relatively clean throughout the camp. It's not like eating a muffin and cookies on a long training ride is really all that bad but I don't like to use training as an excuse to eat something I wouldn't normally eat.

I'm pretty tired so like the previous post, I'm not proofing this for grammar and typos.
Tucson Days 4 & 5
I'm definitely feeling the results of the day after day sessions. Yesterday (Thursday) started off with a 4000 yard swim session which definitely took me out of my comfort zone. A comment that has been floating around in my head is that you have to do what everyone else is not willing to do. For me, that means many things but in regards to the pool, it means that I have to do hard drills. It wasn't my typical run of the mill swim back and forth, these were the famous "Monsy 100's" and although there were pacing guidelines, I just felt like I was swimming one pace -- FAST.

The final ride -- Kitt Peak. Unfortunately something is making my stomach very unhappy and I tossed and turned all night. When I got out of bed this morning, the thought of riding 105 miles didn't seem all that appealing let alone a single 12 mile climb to 7000 feet.
Throughout the first 40 miles, I kept thinking it might be a good idea to bag the ride and go back to the room but the thought of not finishing out the camp with everything that was planned seemed like wimping out. Considering that Jonas Colting is now being quoted for saying, "I don't do misery", I felt like I could've just used that phrase and everyone would've understood. But instead, I decided to tough it out to the start of the climb and see what happened.

I'll warn you now, this entry probably has grammatical and spelling mistakes but I want to crank it out now before I start forgetting all of the details. Everything is moving so quickly and the days are blurring together and getting a little fuzzy.
I have to play catch-up so the detail won't be as great as it would have if the TSA didn't steal my laptop adapter. I guess that's a good place to start. I was in the airport and they decided to go through my backpack and when they returned it, unknown to me at the time, my adapter was gone. When I arrived at the hotel room and attempted to connect my laptop, I realized what had happened but it was too late. I had one overnighted to me but I didn't get back online until Tuesday night and I've already been out training for two solid days.
