Day 1 & 2 of Epic Women Camp

Well, I made it!  My first ever Epic Women Camp and it is in Lanzarote, Canary Islands no less! :)  I was nervous coming in as I knew I would be out of my league but I figured I had nothing to lose but to get stronger.  Let me start off my saying I am in the company of some amazing and great women. Coach Tara and Jo have quite the resume and are two amazing and nice people.  I am surrounded by pro triathletes, a 30+ Ironman finisher, an Ultraman Canada champion, multiple IM finishers, and crazy strong and fast athletes!  No shortage of talent here!  I have my work cut out for me.  We also got some great swag from Zoot, and GU is providing our nutrition for the camp (bonus since I did not have to pack any nutrition which can add weight to luggage!).

So far I have survived Day 1 & 2!  Woohoo!  Day 1 we started with a 3km open water swim in the ocean, 105km bike ride including climbing Tobayesco which is apparently a famous climb here on the island, and a brutal 9km trail run.  Day 2 we did a 3km pool swim, 84km bike ride with a TT in the middle and a camel ride (not sure if we broke any Epic camp rules with that one but it definitely was fun!), and a 9km run that was not as brutal! :)  So far so good!  I am planning to survive the week, get stronger on the bike, and hopefully get my running legs back since I have been off of running due to injury.

Dinner time now! More tomorrow!
