Camp Chapter II

Train To Endure
2008 Winter Training Camp
presented by:

We are now two days out from camp and it seems everything is lined up, including the weather! It looks like, right now anyway, that we will have warmer than normal weather and mostly sunny too. The Tour of California rolls through “NorCal” starting this weekend and they have been so lucky to have great weather for what looks to be three years straight now. Considering what winter can look like here, we’ll jump on their band wagon and take it with no complaints! Bring on the sunscreen ;)



Also lined up are gear bags that each athlete receives. (you can see them in the photo above) We are blessed with great supporters / sponsors for the event and all the athletes reap the benefits. Supporting us again in 2008 is our presenting sponsor Fuel Belt along with our loyal sponsors Oomph! and Blue Seventy and support from Clif. On board this year for the first time are ALCiS Pain Relief (there will be a lot of this stuff being used over the three days) and Infinit Nutrition who will provide all of our fluid replacement and recovery drink needs. I really can’t thank them enough for their support because it really adds a nice touch to the experience.




The other thing that amazes me is how much food and drink we go through, just on the road, during the three days of training! You can see how much food is crammed into the boxes for the sag vehicle. That reminds me, the only thing missing is the ever popular bags of trail mix!

Sorry for the short update, we have a few items left to finish (like making the trail mix) before we are ready to roll! Tomorrow I‘ll drop a note regarding some of our training routes, goals, and little competitions within the camp to challenge those who need more than the volume or hills!



Check in Tomorrow ... DL
