Last day of the camp

The photo above is actually from yesterday when we rode out to Saguaro national park where we had a photo shoot with canadian cyclist and Louis Garneau.  Apparently, Louis Garneau is going to be putting photos of national team athletes in a bunch of magazines this year...

The photo shoot ended up breaking up the ride and most riders stopped for a coffee and then went back to the hotel.  Something that I learned last year is that training camps can be great for augmenting one's training, however discipline is required to avoid common trapping that could throw off your training.  Earlier this week, we were climbing to the top of Mt. Lemmon and at one point the group started to ride itlike a race.  During a training camp like this, it is important to ride the pace that you need to ride even when other are going faster or slower than you need to go.
