That's not what we need for our next race! At Swamp Stomp near Tampa, Florida we will worry more about alligators and not safety of ice cover. Next 3 weeks trainings are about running on flat, running in swamps, and not getting lost when running in flat forest.


Who said this planet is round?

Train your reflection.

The most miserable weather of the year didn't stop 6 racers from getting to the start of 40 k training at Sugarloaf mountain. The strongest rain hit us on bikes creating nice reflections on pavement.

Top of the mountain was covered by big cloud, but the rain stopped despite weatherman predictions. We finished the training totally soaked and cold in Pizza Hut in Georgetown. All photos from the training are here.

Team training and meeting.

Sunday January 17 the training is on weather be dammed!
We are going to have fun at Sugarloaf Mountain. Prepare your bikes and running shoes. Trails are still covered by snow/ice, but creeks are not frozen any more.
We will start from the lower parking lot at 9 am. Plan for 30+ k of mountain bike and 10-15 k of trail run. After the training will be pizza and final 2010 plans discussion.
