Ran / walked about 10 miles total. Not a good effort, the hills depleted my already depleted muscles and I walked many of them. Hot, humid, hilly, sunny. Deadly combination. I didn't try to kill myself on this workout as I thought that would cast a pall over an otherwise succesful training camp.

Aerobic, out and back. Quick transition to the run. Begin your nutrition plan.

This file includes the first part of my run after the ride - I realized that I could set up a separate workout file so I stopped it. I rode 60 minutes - about 15 miles - just an easy ride. Trying to conserve energy for run.
Spring Camp - 2 x loops
1st loop Zone 2 mainly up to 3 on climbs
2nd loop Zone 3 mainly up to 4 on climbs

I felt good on the first loop even after those fucking hills on 294, but just as I got the turnaround for 2nd loop, got my first leg cramp. It was a psychologically daunting challenge, knowing that I would have to face that same finish, one more time -wasn't sure I could do that, but was determined to make it through. I kept the bike in the small ring for almost all of the ride and tried to conserve my leg muscles, pretty much it was a zone 2-3 effort. I would get cramps in one leg then the other, sometimes hamstring, sometimes inside thigh, no calf cramps, sometimes both legs at once. I did learn that it is possible to ride through the cramps (although it hurts). I never stopped for a cramp. And at times they disappeared for several miles.

The final three hills were as tough as anything I had experienced athletically. It was sort of funny to be passed by Fernando and Mo in literally the last mile of the ride. Their 12 mile wrong turn made the difference.
OWS - Work on sighting, swimming straight course.

Social Bike - Zone 1
60-90 minutes
Post Activity Comments:
Easy ride;

Social Hilly Course
Aerobic Z1-2. 10-15:00 easy running, include several short :15-:20 second high cadence efforts to wake the legs up. Settle into Zone 2 effort. Check HR and listen to your breathing to help control effort. Check cadence and form several times throughout the run. Enjoy.

Ran up to Friendship road with Fernando; tempo pace (for me).

Spring Training Camp

Warm up: 10-15 min easy running,
3-4 faster efforts of :20-:30 w/equal recovery time

Listen to your body. Harder is relative to how your feeling on this day. If feeling sore or tired, okay to cut back on intensity and time of the overall run.
Cool Down: 5-10 min easy
