Maui Training Camp

Greeting from Maui!  I’ve always wanted to visit Maui and when my coach Lance Watson told me about a training camp that he wanted to do with his elite athletes, I jumped at the opportunity.  It does feel a little strange being in Hawaii in February.  I’ve been to the Big Island every year for the past 6 years for the Ironman and this is my first time visiting another Island.  My mind keeps flashing back to last year in Kona.  I trained so hard for that race and to start it injured and have to hobble through race day was extremely frustrating.  The feelings fuel and motivate me to work harder than ever this year.  Four days into camp and every muscle in my body is sore and I love it!  The workouts have been painful at times, but I just keep telling myself, nothing is more painful than being injured and sidelined.  If I can stay on crutches for 41/2 weeks to heal a stress fracture, I can do this dam workout!!  We’ve been doing tons of ocean swims, volcano climbs and long runs in the heat.  My Cervelo feels light and fast and I can’t wait to pop on my new sub 9 and kick off my race season.   Tomorrow is a rest day and as much as  I love to train, I am looking forward to it!
