My First Big Camp of 2010 in Clermont
Three hard weeks of training are done and there is more to come. The past few weeks have been very intersting for me, hanging out with Rappstar and learning some more stuff about the triathlon world. Our focus in Clermont at the NTC was to do some quality miles on the bike. The first week was more swimming oriented for me and the second week I spent lots of hours in the saddle. Five more weeks till my first race in Abu Dhabi and there is still some work to be done. Luckily my body looks more like an athlete’s again and I was able to shed off some more pounds during that time.
Apart from all the good training (btw, Clermont is pretty much the best training area I have discovered so far in and around Florida) Rappstar had some interesting comments about triathlon in general and especially anything concerning data for our sport. Man, I guess I just keep working with the basics that might be a bit less confusing for me…eventhough a some details might be very useful for my own future.
n just a few weeks it will be back to racing and traveling. Till this point I didn’t have to fly around so much like last year and it has been a bit more relaxing. Let’s see if that will help me to get in good shape till mid of March. Just a few days ago I saw the stunning sign up for the start list in Abu Dhabi and all I can say: I have to be in really good shape to battle the top guys in our sport. No pain- no gain! Guess there is some truth in it. I am at about five weeks before the race and I feel I am very close to my shape before Hawaii. It’s pretty crazy to see how short the time and been and I am already back to normal training. I am sure to be able to influence the race in a few weeks from now. Looking forward to it a lot!
See you later!
