Camp recap, flying and recovery!

The view from above...climb, climb, climb!

I'm still recovering from my camp that happened last week, but what a week! Hard rides up and down and up again in the hills of BC. Quality training in the bank! My legs were and still are totally thrashed, but we'll hope that pays off come end of summer! Riding with the lake in view, orchards everywhere, mountains galore and many other cyclists on the road at all hours of the day was wicked. 8 hard rides (plus a few really ugly runs) in 9 days and love/hated every one. Of course what's a rockin' training camp without a few side trips to watch track side throws (PB for @Javelin_daddy!), mountain bike with @Javelin_daddy and littleman, kayak and eat gelato for lunch!

Too fast for the camera - not quite. I am a chicken - but getting braver!

Moving on to more adventures, this week I'm super proud to say that I'm part of a great group of women runners as a new member of their running flock. Oiselle is a fabulous running company out of Seattle that makes great and stylish running and training gear, as well as gives back to the community and is not afraid to stand out on their own.
