Summary of past few days. Pic of University of Arizona pool.


It's Friday and the last day of training for the juniors from BC.   I'm sure nobody is looking forward to the cold weather back home.   We'll sure miss this place.  We've had some great training and some good fun along the way.  
My last post before departure. 
Over the past few days this is some of what we've done here in Tucson:
  • two really fun Cactus League Major League Baseball games: Arizona Diamonbacks vs San Francisco Giants (D-backs won0,  D-backs vs Chicago White Sox (D-backs won again).  For the second game A - Russ organized VIP seating for Team BC and Manitoba in a tent with all the hot dogs/hamburgers etc we could put down.. hmmmm!  not bad!!
  • Mt. Lemmon assault:  some of the guys went for the 12.5 mile official time trial, then cruised the rest of the ride to the top (will post results later).  Everyone rode right to the top and we enjoyed some good cherry pie at Summerhaven.  The Fireduck award goes to Christine for a fine effort.   Kudos to everyone for enduring the long and hot day. 
  • A spirited 6-8 x 1km at Udall park with Team Sask, Team Manitoba and BC in attendance.  Some fast km's were run. 
  • Good drafting set at U of Arizona pool swimming long course.  We really appreciated the facilities director Russ for making us feel so welcome and offering a quality swim venue. 
  • Some good buoy swims at Ft. Lowell.. see pics. 
OK.. time for a coffee then on to the morning brick session.
