Day 8: Last day at Epic Camp in Hawaii 2015, by Anja H.

Today is the last day of the Women Epic Camp in Hawaii 2015. I cannot believe I survived this camp in one piece. After Day one I thought how on earth will I survive Day 2??? But your body is an amazing machine and of course your mind. Day after day we all got back in the ocean to swim , onto our bikes to do some Epic rides and into our running shoes to run Ali’i drive.
So today was our last day and we drove to Captain Cook bay where we were lucky enough to swim with 15 plus dolphins which was absolutely incredible. This will be one of the best epic memories for me. My dream came true:):).
I am not sure how long we played with them but we had to leave as our Coach made us run 20 km as our last torture of the camp. We started out at the bay of Kona beach and ran out to the Energy Lab and back to the beach. Etienne and Lisa were our support crew and they had the van parked half way so we could refuel as it was hot running out there. Thank you guys for doing this , I really enjoyed the ice. Especially when Etienne poured the ice on my back. :) We all had an amazing run after all the km we have put on our legs in those eight days. I was very pleased with my time and I hope I can run this well in my Ironman this year. After the run Tara, David (his new name is Karl, Fritz:)), Maya, Sarah and I had a Acai bowl, which was divine. Mmmm good. Might have to have one tomorrow before I leave because when I get back home no more ice cream or Nutella. LOL.
We of course bought one Acai bowl for Lisa. She is doing O.K. , of course in a bit more pain than yesterday but she is smiling and moving forward. That is what we crazy Triathletes do!
To finish this amazing camp off, we had a yummy meal at the restaurant called Huggo’s on the rocks. (I think). Everything tasted sooooo good. Now our tummies are full and we are happy and sad to see Day 8 end.

I would love to thank Tara who put on an absolutely amazing Camp. Of course a big thank you to Etienne, who gave us mental training, plus cooking, plus driving etc. and a big thank you to David, which from now on is called Karl, Fritz for his endless entertaining, cooking, and doing our laundry and folding it as well. You guys ROCK!!!!
Another big thank you to ZOOT, GU AND TREK for sponsoring the camp with all the goodies. I have never had such a great experience at a camp.
I will do it again.:):)
Thanks again for a fantastic 8 days of tough training. Memories and new friendships made forever.
