Dear Phil
If you say things like, “it’s going to hurt and you won’t finish, just let me know how far you get”
I take that as a full on challenge. So thank you?
Some 1min blocks as warm up then 6x2min with 4min off in between.
Anyone want to guess MAP target for my first MAP blocks this year?
Last year was 300.....this year is higher. That’s the hint.

Lake loop in the rain.
I worked on my mud freckles and counted 7 dead rabbits.
We stopped once for a bathroom break.
After maybe an hour I took Carla and I to the front and we pulled most of the rest of the ride because I felt the pace was too slow and we weren't in recovery HR zone. I was high-fived after for holding a consistent tempo throughout and keeping it safe pointing out holes etc.
After the ride I showered and said my goodbyes had a debrief with Phil and headed into the OC to hang out with Nat, Sean, and Anne-Marie. Super fun.

Two big climbs on a long ride.
Challenge was to beat the guys up the hill and stick them on the descents so I did just that (with the exception of one descent).
Frank drilled it up the first short climb and gave us a great wheel to sit on.
The first descent I was pretty unprepared for (mentally) and admittedly still a bit shaky from the guys going down the day before. AL+RW tandem stuck the guys wheel (mostly) the three of us regrouped shortly after the bottom and pulled over when it was safe to wait for the rest of the group. When we hit more of the rollers we circled through some pulls then I jumped on the guys wheel when they started to pull away after a right hand turn into a descent. When the climb hit I dropped them pretty quick, Carla and I tried to stay on AL+RW wheel....which didn't last long but we did manage to keep them in sight for the climb and catch them pretty quick once we crested. Everyone re-grouped about....6k up the road per coaches ordered.
Mostly rolling with some technical descent and one more big climb. We again didn't keep the wheel but kept sight of the target...I told the ladies that our 2019 goal is to hold them on climbs over 5min.
We are ahead of them for the first 5min right now.
Great last long ride of camp.

Cycling hills (Day 6) 3:39:00 [4] 76.64 km (2:51 / km) +1715m 2:34 / km
ahr:152 max:178 rhr:52 slept:8.5
Climbing up what we expected to be 20k from the start. It was not. It was 22.5 ish?
1:45 up with some stopping for construction.
We saw Mat and Ben with about 4K to go. Guillaume came to meet us and let us know there was 1.5 to go. He and I chatted the rest of the way up.
LT and AD came past us on their way down with less than 1k to go.
RW and AL were at the top just before us with NC. Coach Frank made it up just behind and took a photo for us. Then we headed down.
I started seeing neon kit and realized it was the KR crew from Seattle also training. One of the guys yelled for us to slow down as “they” crashed up there.
A few turns later I see LT and AD on the side of the road, clothes in tatters, lots of blood. I stop the bike and get off to help them. Coach Patrick comes up behind. He has no first aid supplies but calls the van. I clean them off with the fresh water I’d just filled up. LT looks rough and a bit loopy. I say, “I’m so sorry I don’t know how to assess a blind person for concussion. The van is coming to take you to the hospital”.
They are in good spirits. The van arrives and we are told to head down and back to the hotel. So we do. I find out later it took quite a while to get them to the hospital.
Once we are down the climb. Pat suggests we stop for tacos and wait for the other girls (he saw them at the market, I did not so I didn’t stop). We stopped for tacos for a while. Then carried on. We take a few turns then Pat says, “sooo its climb for quite a while after this”
Erin: no big deal, we climbed the other side of this canyon.
And comparatively it wasn’t bad.
The road was a bit narrow and some drivers were rude. But we crushed it. Made it home by 3. I ate two dinners.
