Lititz Training Camp Day #4

Recovery!

Riding through a covered bridge

Bike
We settled for a "gentlemen" ride, an easy 2 hour ride at snail pace where we were able to enjoy the view, the empty roads, and the fresh air. We covered 28 miles and really took the time to appreciate the area and loosen up those sore legs, talked about everything and nothing, and enjoy the moment.
Riding is fun when we push hard and get some good speed, but it's also about discovering new areas, seeing new things, and enjoying the sport of cycling. We accomplished it, riding amazing roads in a beautiful, yet chilly weather. And after 3 intense days, it was a perfect way to start up the day.



Jared showed off his #TeamTribeBike cycling kit and "posed" in few occasions...why not? After all, it does look good.

Dedicated to ride from door to door! 

Run
We capped off Lititz 2014 with a 35-min cool down run in Lititz, running towards the sandwich place to pick up their menu and order food to go. Speaking of food, Matt cracked us up when he complained about how tiny his portion was, bite-size portions that he finished in probably 3 bites...and they forgot his bacon, compared to mine where I could barely take a bite as my bacon, eggs, and cheese sandwich as too big...Matt wasn't happy, but it made for a good laugh.

...Lititz 2014 in the books!
Great training camp this year. I learned a lot about nutrition, training, pacing, and my limits. There is a lot of work to do, but that's the beauty of our sport: the learning curve is endless and always steep.

Triathlon will take me to Maryland in June, Switzerland in July, and Canada in September and I look forward to the challenge, fun, and excitement that all these places will bring.

Thank you Lititz, Jared, and Matt for a great camp, and see you next year!
