Today brought an incredible ride to Saguaro National Park East completing two incredible loops of which I have a slide show with music. Turn down the music if you don't like Metallica.

Disregard the power readings as I am still having issues with my power meter. Grrrrr
Tucson Training Camp Gates Pass Day 3
Off in the distance you can see where we're going.
Getting closer
Closer yet
You get the picture (get it)
Now we're there looking back where the other pics were taken from
The Whole Gang. Great times!
Cheers Mate
You looking at me?
No...you looking at me?
I wanted to do more but we had to forge on to Colossal Cave. Once again everyone stepped up to the challenge and there wasn't any shortage of smiling faces. Sore butts yes and some tired legs but that didn't stop our fearless leader from taking us to get some food for our tired bodies for energy so he could then take us to the pool for some drills and some competitions of sorts.
Warm up followed by some drills to make people look like their drowning in the water followed by some hypoxic (without air) drills. That was of course the most interesting.
8x50
First 2 50's you could only take 5 breaths
Second 2 50's you could only take 4 breaths
Third 2 50's you could only take 3 breaths
Fourth 2 50'2 you could only take 2 breaths
...and finally the last 2 50's ZERO breaths
Many in the group were able to do most of this and a few were able to take just one breath while completing 50 yards. The only one to complete a 50 with no breaths was one of the coaches.
Then off to the hotel for a tiny bit of downtime and a shower before heading off to Guadalajara's for dinner.
