Training camp

This weekend we headed up to Quebec city for a little meet and greet at LG's Ranch.
It was basically the core guys of the Quebec team myself and Natasha. We came home with 2 road bikes and a sweet mountain bike. Unfortunately for me, it's Tasha'a mnt bike. Man just when I thought I had learned everything I needed to know about road and cross mechanics now I will have to learn a whole new ball game...


It was a little chilly to ride bikes so we had an Alpine training weekend, the timing was perfect as it was the end of a training block, so I got some time off to do do whatever.
We went skate skiing at Duschnay...man I sucked, my skiing is not good...well no it sucks...good thing I'm fit or else 2 hours would have been a disaster, I still don't know how I didn't bonk.

Yesterday we went snoe shoeing, that was a little more my style...just thrash around...not a whole lot of technique, like running in mud. So we all headed out to climb up and down the escarpments on side of the lake, we basically threw ourselves down huge hills and scaled the steepest parts we could find. Natasha toughed it but when JS wanted to scale a huge mud wall covered with melting snow she feared for her life and headed back to the Ranch.

It was pretty cool, laid back, we even went out to watch the hockey game at Cage Au Sports Saturday night.

Nice to have a couple days off but still stay active and amazingly i only have a little twinges of pain in my left calf.

So another couple weeks of weights and computrainer riding and we'll be off the South Carolina...
for training camp number two, this one may invovle riding though...
