The Coaches

Friday was a big day of training for everyone here in Tucson.

The day began with Mt. Lemmon, the athletes tackled the climb at various distances, but all rode for 4-5hrs with a 30min run off the bike. Stevo crushed the climb in 1hr42min. Rumour has it that the record for 12.5mile is 47mins, look out!!! A quick recovery period and then the group got in the pool for 5k of swimming. The bouys were set up and the set was 5x400m. This set was tough but finished off a great day.

The coaches were great today and need big mention. Patrick, Mark and Rossanne all were there for support on the climb, set up the bouys for the swim and kept everyone motivated when the energy levels were sinking.

As Pk said that could have been the first bouy swim in fort lowell pool history.
