Day 7 – Tara

Day 7 done.  That means one day to go!  My quads are so shot now, I wonder if I will be able to run 20K tomorrow…  I want camp completion points but want to be smart…  I will have to see how I feel tomorrow.

We started out with a 3K ocean swim and the swells were quite a bit larger which I enjoyed – I like timing my stroke to ride the waves!

Today was our last bike for the camp and did we ever finish with a bang!!!!  A ride from the Mauna Kea Recreation Centre to the Observatory on Mauna Loa which is situated a bit higher than 11,000 feet.  I have always wondered about this ride and have never been to the top of this volcano.  It was an AWESOME and EPIC last ride.  The weather was great (aside from getting a bit chilled at the top which made my descent a wee bit ‘tricky’ (as my Maya says) and we stopped to get some good photos along the way…  The views were incredible and we all rode to the top together.  I loved it!

Lisa was an awesome support crew (she is definitely not used to NOT TRAINING at Epic Woman Camp) and even got us the best tasting BBQ chips at the lunch stop :)   Thanks Lisa.

We barely made the drive back to town in time to finish the day with our 10K run.  But we did it (ok a little after dark but it was safe along Alii Drive) and we were all in it together at the end.  I have been getting faster each run until today where I just ran and never even looked at my pace.  I finished but my quads were hurting and I hope they feel better after a nights sleep and a wee dip in the ocean bright and early:  Tomorrow we will try to swim with the dolphins at Captain Cook before we finish the camp with our 20K run.

Play of the day goes to Sarah for doing some pulling at the end of our epic ride and for running her last Km of her 10K run the fastest ever (on Day 8!!!!)!  Nice work!

Good times!

It is so hard to believe that the camp is almost over.  What an incredible week we have had with so many amazing moments including laughs and tears.  I love you Epic Women!!!!
