Driving up from Washington, DC I passed the time thinking “what did I get myself into”? “Do I really want to do this”. I know no one. I’m going to get my butt kicked!!! Well all the negative thoughts left very quickly when I was introduced to all the rest of the “campers”….. right before heading out on an easy five mile run. The run was a great way to meet everyone and take in the area. Today, I awoke at 5:35am. I didn’t want to be late for the first workout. The swim started at 6:30 with a 500 time trial. Then we did a series of drills. The last one being the close fist drill. This is something I haven’t done since my Y days. This drill is a tough one. It shows you every flaw in your stroke. I guess this is why I haven’t done it since swimming at the Y some 25 years ago. Next up was the ride. Eric said take it easy on the way out to the stopping point. So I took that to heart. The wind was pretty tough today, so even keeping the pace down, it was still pretty hard. I heard we were heading the Bash Bish falls. I was looking forward to seeing this place. I wanted to see if it lived up to the pictures I’ve seen of it. It was awesome. But this little stop to see the falls was quickly put a side by a mystery run workout. A 20 minute warm up followed by 7 hill repeats. The last for were all out to see what our heart rates could get up too. I thought I was going to puke. After a quick lunch we were back on the bikes. Up one of the toughest climbs I have ever done. It didn’t end. It all paid off with an incredible down hill. I have to admit I was hitting the breaks a bit when I saw 45mph. The rest of the ride was beautiful, but tough. My legs were killing me from the run and all the climbing. When I saw the sign for Lakeville I was psyched up, but there was still one nice climb left into town. By this point I could smell the barn. It was a great day!!!! The support from everyone was truly inspiring. Eric and his crew put together a great day. I can’t wait for tomorrow!!!! Sean Gallagher Arlington, VA
