Tucson Day 1 & 2



Firstly here are some pictures of the haircuts


The first day in Tucson started with a trip off to the University of Arizona pool for an hour and a half aerobic swim and then jumping off the 10m diving board. Then in the afternoon we went for a 3ish hour (78 km) ride, taking Old Spanish Trail down to Colossal Cave Mountain Park, then back to Saguaro National Park for a couple 8 mile loops around there. We finished the day off with a 30 - 60 min run around the park.

Today, we started off with another swim at the U of A pool with a 4x 4x 200 drafting set. Then we went to performance bike to eat our lunch well Riley Unger went and got some new cycling shorts because he forgot to bring his own. Once we got that all sorted out we went and cycled out to Mammoth, Az. It was a pretty challenging long ride with a 12 mile climb. In total the oldest athletes rode 121 km and the younger athletes around 110km. This was a great job for the younger athletes who have never gone for any sort of long ride before. Charles caught a wheel and took a spill on the way up Mammoth, leaving some beautiful road rash. After the ride we stopped in at the outlet mall for some speedy shopping.

Here are some pictures from the last couple days:






Tomorrow is another swim and then some bricks at the base of Mt. Lemmon.
