Tomorrow = Camp On!

   

It is hard to believe that the summer is nearly over. Tomorrow, I will be heading to Canadensis, PA (Pocono Mtn.) to work at Running Works Cross-Country Camp for 7 days. It is always a fun week and a great prelude to my teams return at the start of preseason for the Crusader Cross-Country season. This week I will be working along side good friends who share the same passion about the sport of running as I do. It makes for a great opportunity to exchange coaching ideas and learn some new things. It will also be nice to ride and run in a new area and get some good climbing.

Training continues to go well leading up to my next race in 15 days. I will be racing a sprint distance (.5 mile swim - 18 mile bike - 3.2 mile run) at the Kestone State Triathlon. This week with staff meetings I missed two swim sessions but was able to get some great running and biking. As much I as hate the swim portion, knowing that I will lack swimming this week I really needed those swim sessions. At least I will have a week to get back in the pool the following week to prep for the race.

Hopefully I will be able to find two more races in September to finish off a great comeback season. With each training week and race I am realizing that next year's goals will be big! Stay tuned....
