Not but a handful of days after the end of the track racing season in Pennsylvania I turned around and headed out to Colorado Springs, CO to start working towards the fall/winter track season. I am now training in Colorado with the national women's team pursuit squad putting in miles in the mountains and of course time in team pursuit formation on the track. Between epic road rides - 4 1/2 hours in 40+ mph winds, up mountains, down mountains...a small lack of oxygen...maybe a brief crash in the dirt... - drilling home technique and speed in 4 1/2 hour track sessions, and meetings with the masterminds of their fields to discuss ways to improve as an athlete, things are kept entertaining!
Thank goodness we lowlanders can get some oxygen tomorrow - a supplemental oxygen workout at the Olympic Training Center. Now my chest can rest...no really, my intercostals are sore!
