Last weekend was probably the best training weekend that I have ever had. I attended the E3 Tri X camp at Oak Mountain State Park. I had the opportunity to swim bike and run with one of the top female professional Ironman triathletes, Jessica Jacobs, who happened to win the race that I have my sights set on. I also learned from one of the top nutritionalists in athletics, Bob Seebohar. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but I left the camp extremely sore.
We went through every aspect of competing in a triathlon. In addition to the normal swim, bike and run, we also learned about nutrition, transitions, strength training, balancing training and family life, yoga, technique, and mental aspects of triathlon. I feel like I left there armed with the knowledge that I will need to have a successful race season. I received great coaching from Eric and Karen Doehrman and John Hannah. Amy Hannah also did an excellent job directing the camp and ensuring that we were able to get everything done in a 3 day weekend.
Tomorrow, I get to ride with Dennis Muilenburg as he comes to town to celebrate Boeing's 50th aniversary in Huntsville. I also will be competing in the Rev3 Knoxville Olympic Distance triathlon this weekend. I hope to have pictures from the Tri Camp and from the race to post next week.
