In the last couple of days there have been a number of you guys talking about the great training sessions you have gotten in with the improvement in weather (sorry to those in the East coast rainstorms). With Khai's photos of Kitsalano pool, Monk talking of group rides on the A1A and Tom's El Mercado ride I thought it would be good to see where other people train.
Let's see urban and country shots of your usual pools, weekly ride routes and run courses that we all take for granted and look at them with fresh eyes. Let's avoid the obvious like Heather posting CN tower, Cathy the Golden Gate Bridge, Ashburn the pentagon etc. I want to see TriBryGuy's Vermont Forests, Marisol's Cincin, CG's Ontario route, kittycat's mid section, triaussie's bush (!) and the like. I want to see what Louisiana, Texas and Maine etc have to offer.
So come on Guys, post four pictures, one swim, two bikes and a run. Let us know where you are based and show us. I 'll start you off from the other side of the Atlantic:
This is my local pool. Like Kitsalano pool it is salt water but a little long than 137m lengths, it's 7 miles per length and only 100 metres to walk from home. We have a good 30 mile bike loop that delivers variety in terrain all based in the New Forest in Hampshire near the South Coast. 
You can climb up and up amongst the trees avoiding the ponies and cattle that the commoners set out to graze. 
Or get down in the aero position and battle into the everpresent headwinds on the heathland near High Corner. Once you are off the bike I like to run around the Christchurch harbour shoreline and over the headland at the views stretching below me. 
Unlike the day in a life of thread or the legs thread there are no prizes or voting, just letting us so where you train and other parts of the world. And if it promts Monk to get his camera out at the beach, so be it ;-)

South side of the Chicago bike / run path. Great views of the city for the return trip home. The wind along here can make this flat course seem hilly.
