Seems like every time I try to come back from a posting hiatus it’s to blog about some weird triathlon-related activity. Ah, good thing I have such consistent hobbies!

I’m off this afternoon to Las Cruces, NM for a 10 day training camp with a big crew of up-and-comers, might-bes, and hopefuls just like me. I did this same camp last year during my Ironman Arizona build up. Subsequent races last year were a little lackluster (note extreme understatement), but this year I am confident that things will go more smoothly, and I’ll be able to transition back into a normal training schedule once I get back home.

It should be a pretty demanding week of training. After driving some 600 miles this afternoon, tomorrow I’ll have a 1 1/2 hour swim, 3 hour bike ride, and 1 hour run to join in the first day of the camp. Then on Sunday, having warmed up with an easy day, we’ll get into it for real :-) By next Sunday, I hope to be toughened up and ready for my next race, the Lone Star half ironman on April 1.

I’ll be trying to post updates from camp, including photos (!) if I get lucky. I’m still trying to make up my mind between flickr and gallery2 for my photos.

[Edit]:  I’ve been made aware that the quote is in fact “unto the breach”, not “into the breach”, even though the latter sounds much smoother in modern english.  I’m a dumbass.
