Monterrey

Charles, Riley, Ungie and coach Gary are all down in Monterrey this week for the Youth Olympic Games Trials. They are joining the rest of Team Canada for this event. Firstly the individual race takes place on Friday, with the girls going around 5 in the afternoon, and the guys around 6:30. There is also a relay event which takes place on the Sunday early in the morning before the elite world cup race in the afternoon.

We arrived in Monterrey late on Monday night, and then got settled in to our hotel. On Tuesday morning we took a trip to Walmart for some groceries, followed by a 30ish minute run close by the race course. In the afternoon we went swimming at a pool just a few minutes away from our hotel. The pool was not quite what we are used to but the person running the pool was very nice and let us use the pool at no cost all week. The swim was just a quick 3km with some activation sets. A quick spin on our bikes will finish out the day.
