Slowtwitch Training Camp--it's begun
Quote | Reply
http://web.mac.com/.../iWeb/Site/2008.html are some photos from today and yesterday.

Dawn T. and I have been here a couple of days and have been doing some riding. QRgirl and Michelle arrived together yesterday, as did Chicago instigator. Today saw Ariel, TrailBait and lilipups arrive and most of us headed out on the bikes. Some of them went with Slowman to the pool and then to lunch. Monty is busy opening the wine and cooking away (and doing a damned fine job of it!)

Swimming, running and riding tomorrow and a few more folks will arrive. The weather is perfect--near 80F and sunny today. Just fantastic.

Hey there! Just got home this morning at 6:00 am. Got a few hours of sleep on the plane. Wish I didn't have to leave early, but I had a great few days there. Thanks for organizing it and thanks to Monty for putting up with us again. Gotta spend the next year getting ready for our next big climb. :)

Make sure you keep us updated on the rest of the weekend.

We are just back from the pool and a late breakfast/lunch at the Pines restaurant. Now folks are contemplating a bike ride. Glad I rode this AM!! It's warm and windy today.

Rough life. ;-) I'm so jealous - sounds like a blast. Please put a brick or lead weights into my friend instigator's bento box to make the rides a little harder for her - she's been bragging about how easy it's all going to be. (kidding)

Where are the pictures of you guys sitting around in your pajamas drinking margaritas?

It's been fun! I've swam twice in two days which is more than I've swam in a year.

Salmon and tri tip for dinner. I was hoping to drop a few pounds while I'm here but that may not be possible ;-)

I took instigator up the hill today and then she did another ride tonight, so she's been working on her hill climbing.

Pictures of marg drinking--there are a few.

Time for cake!

The pool... it is dreamy...

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

Cathy ~~ you got your hair cut! I've seen only pictures of you with long hair. it looks great! so does the pool ~~ reminds me of the one at the NTC in Clermont, 50m x 25 yds? LOVE to swim in the sunshine. Jealous, jealous, jealous. Next year ... maybe they'll do St. As on a weekend that's a little farther away from the Xan gathering. More pix!

Saturday morning and we are watching the 1981 Ironman, Monty's first IM. He's on a bike with a huge pack in the front. Big enough to fit a six-pack in.

I am just about to leave the ranch and am the lone camper left. It was a great time! Can't wait for next year!

PS As I was packing my bike, I determine what the mystery screw I found on Friday was. It belonged to my multi-tool. What a relief to know that it didn't fall off my bike and I wasn't risking my life the rest of the weekend.

So sad I missed it yet again. :-/ I have to say Monty looks hot in the pink fleece beenie! :-) I'm also close enough to them that I think I need to convince them to let me come out for a few days for a solo gal camp. :-)

Hee hee - I saw that one too and thought, now wait a minute, Deanna isn't THAT short! It must have been Tall Womens ST Camp or something. ;-)

Nice pics, thanks for sharing! Sigh, I wish I had been there - looks like it was a LOT of fun.....
