Day...

My apologies. An update has been a long time coming due to the busyness of my state here in San Antonio. Once the camps started I had no time and my life was consumed by coaching.

What a great 2 weeks it was. I learned a ton about coaching, triathlon, kids, athlete development and elite performance in general. Saw some wicked numbers layed down in tests and had an absolute blast! The first camp was a junior select camp which meant all these athletes were very good. They were tested 5 times during the week and believe me, after going through it last year its a tough 5 tests. I was glad to not be testing this year but coaching was just as tiring. I still got in most of my workouts but recovery is definitely hurt.

The second camp was a skills camp and saw a pretty wide range of abilities and ages. They "only" had 3 tests and I was once again extremely busy. This time though there were 4 other junior elite coaches who had stayed after the select camp and we got out to do a lot of our workout together when the campers had free time.

I also did my best to keep up with school during that time and finished one of my classes last friday. The other one doesn't end until august.

I leave this Friday to head back to Dallas before flying to Maine on July 20th for a training camp/outdoor adventure trip with UT Tyler. This week should be some solid training before I head to Maine. I hope to update again soon.Te veo mas tarde!

(I've spent the last 3 weeks with a group of spanish speaking juniors and they've been trying to teach me a little bit.)
