Hello from Trimarni camp!

We packed up the car on Tuesday morning and hit the road to Jacksonville, FL around noon. To start the morning, Karel went for a swim at Furman and I did a bike/run workout (indoors) to start the day. The furry crew went to their "spring break" camp at Grandmas.

I drove the first 3 hours of the drive as Karel worked on the computer (thank you hot spot!) and then we swapped. For entertainment, we listened to various triathlon related podcasts. We made one stop at Chipotle and funny enough, Karel and I both got the same dish - a salad bowl w/ rice, beans, veggies and tofu. Yum yum.

We arrived to our friends house in Jax around 6pm and I was quickly greeted with lots of sloppy kisses from sweet Reagan. 

After a delicious dinner prepared by Erica, I got to hang out with Erica and Joe's cute son Weston for a little and then it was off to bed. 

On Wednesday morning, we left around 7:30am for a 2.5 hour drive to Clermont, Florida. Joe, our assistant coach (who also let us stay at his house to break up our trip) lead the way and we followed in our car. When we arrived, we went straight to the NTC for a 3000 yard swim workout. Since our training is pushed to the side during our camp to attend to the needs of our campers, it was nice to get in a solid swim - while enjoying the warm weather.

After the swim, we drove 20 minutes to our camp house "resort" and for the next 3 hours, I was on "party planner" mode, getting the house ready for the campers. 

So much sport nutrition!!

Awesome Trimarni camp swag bags!!

Our 20 campers started to roll in between 2-4:30 and at 5pm (after a brief camp intro) we headed out for a 1-hour social spin. 

We are so grateful that Kathleen is here to cook for our campers. Not only did she do all the grocery shopping (and keeping our kitchens stocked with food) but she is preparing all of our meals. 

In the evening, we had our formal camp introduction and went over the Thursday camp schedule - which will include a full day of training.
