This is beginning to get hard! 
Guess it is called “Epic” camp for a reason!
First off, I wanted to give props to our house host and hostess – Debs and Daz at Trisport Lanzarote! They have been just incredible! Debs has been creating some fabulous meals (including dessert!) feeding us hungry campers and Daz has been helping with our training sessions, bikes, etc. Oh, and I cannot forget to mention the sag wagon lunches they have been providing so far! Meeting us for our KOMs or TTs and then a lunch stop with a real lunch and refueling our nutrition is priceless! I have been quite enjoying the sandwiches, chips, and coke for lunch!
I was beginning to feel it a bit more today. We started with a 3km ocean water swim where I felt like I was struggling to move forward. We followed that by 100+ bike ride of the north island which is part of the Ironman loop. The bike ride was a bit of a challenge for me today, not only because of the wind and climbing, but more because of the descending. I have a big fear of descending and I faced those fears head on today. Full on steep descents with switchbacks and add some wind to the mix – this was not easy for me. But I survived! Maybe with a little less rubber on my brake pads while white knuckling the handlebars, but I got down! (Huge thanks to Daz for making sure I got down in one piece!) Apparently we will be doing the same descent again so hopefully next time I will feel a bit more comfortable. Hopefully! I ended off the day with a 9km run and I have to say even though it was hard with the hills and a good headwind for a portion of it, I felt like my running legs are slowly coming back. I just have to ignore my run pace! Haha!
Tomorrow we will be doing an aquathon! Sounds like fun and painful at the same time! Lol! I’ll report back tomorrow!
Now to enjoy my brownie and ice cream dessert! Yum!!!! I think this one is well deserved!
