Day 2 at track Camp

The workout today consisted of 4x 2K efforts in groups of 3...after 2x warm up pacelines (second one in groups of 3 on differeing parts of the track)...Today's workout was Muy difficil!!

Here is Sarah Uhl striking a pose between efforts...

Here is one group (Sarah, Kat Carroll, Katherine ESPN, and Allison Powerhouse), the efforts start from the rail...as seen in this photo

And here they are w/ maybe 2 laps to go...

And here we have Liza Rachetto, Me, and Sima Trapp in the midst of one of our efforts...

On the last one he switched up our groups....so here is Me, Sarah, and Sima...fun fun fun

BTW, the news that 'they' have added Team Pursuit, and Team Sprint to Women's Olympic Track events hit us today...I'm still a little bruised....but it's great news! More track events for Women, since they took away the 500m and Kilo (I think) recently....


Then in the PM we went for a REAL recovery ride...there was much silliness, lead, as always, but Brad Huff and Mike Freedman, Colby pulling a close 2nd though! Brad Huff demonstrated the superman move, and the Superman spread eagle move (the first one is WAY better), we dropped Sarah on a pee break (where she disturbed ~5 kids smokin' the 'Gone-ja'...whatever, WEED!), played a little football (one catch from kids we were passing), recieved tants of "Whoa boys in spandex that's SO sexy"....your average recovery ride!

Our 'module' of the night was our fearless leader telling us how we can race 8years of cyclocross, track, mtn, road, bmx....full on all the time, and never take more than 5 days off the bike...cause, "Variety is the Spice of Life"...and if you just keep changing it up you don't get burnt out....yea, all the totally fried road girls ate that up like Chocolate! Then we heard how to make 15K from the USOC...pretty much be faster than Sarah Hammer...

Well, with that...I went to bed....well laid in bed wishing I was sleeping...I tried counting my breaths backward from 400, but got pissed when I wasn't falling asleep at all by 300...I just get so anxious that I'm NOT gonna fall asleep I don't, then it's a battle to shut my brain up and just calm down so I CAN fall asleep...So I took a melatonin....then woke up at 1AM and it all started over again...GREAT!!
