Tucson , Thats a Wrap!

Just sitting in my hotel room, killing some time before I head back to B.C. tomorrow. Pretty excited to get home, my own bed, nice fresh cooked meals and a regular lifestyle. But I am going to miss is down here. It's to come and solely focus on riding your bike. And its nice to notice how much fitter you've got over the training block. First road race is happening this upcoming weekend. So hopefully I'll be rested up and ready to roll.

As a camp wrap up, things went almost perfect to plan with some long hours in the saddle on the road bike and most importantly the mountain bike. The week with the national team went awesome, we had some great seminars on recovery, sleep and competition. Then the two weeks with cycling BC were awesome, rode some really cool epic loops around town, went to come awesome coffee shops, got our tans on and made some mean dinners. But things could have been a bit better, as I got a little sick after the national team camp, so it took a few days to get rolling into the cycling BC camp. Then got sick again on the second last day, so I missed the final ride up Mt Lemon. Which kinda blew, but was the smart thing to do. I definitely feel way fitter at this point, so no complaints whatsoever. Bye bye Tucson, hello snowy BC!
