Boulder Training Camp Wrap Up

I’m looking forward to going home and seeing my husband and my 3 boys (T, Kona and Thunder), but part of me is sad to leave.  I love the training here in Boulder.  I love the cycling routes, the running trails and having my choice of 4-5 groups to swim with everyday.  But mostly, I love being with my sister.  We are so close and it is so hard for us to live apart.  We have so much fun together.  The past 6 weeks have been great.  Lots of lattes, kick ass runs, laughs and even a little trash talking.  Kelly’s running has taken off over the past month and I can’t wait to see how she does in the National 10 mile Championships in 2 weeks.  Then she will fly out to Kona right after the race.  Every year, she says she can’t do it and every year she out there on the Queen K screaming at me to run faster!

Top 3 things I’ve learned in Boulder:

1. 6 am swim workouts are not that bad if you have a good group to swim with and Wolfgang coaching you.

2. Never tell a CAT 2 Cyclist you want to do a hard 6 hour ride! ouch!

3.  Kelly is definitely the evil twin.  again ouch, she is tough!
