GEC's High Endurance Ironman Training Camp Wrapup

It's a wrap, friends. The 2nd Annual Grasky Endurance Coaching High Altitude Ironman Training Camp is in the books. We had a great group of 5 for this camp who got along and meshed well. They were very close to the same speed, but each progressed a bit differently during the camp. Luc was strong from the start, Shawn was a bit reserved but came on strong as the week went on, Polita showed everyone up on day 6, and Owen and Angie were steady from the gate. I think all of them will go home and (after a rest period) will realize the training this week will make their seasons shine.

Thanks to all the help from Coach Bill and from worker bee Jill. This camp would not have been possible without each of you. Bill took on the swimming and running sessions, and helped in the core strength and flexibility sessions, evening talks, and cycling. Jill cooked, cleaned, drove sag, ran errands, and took care of us while we played....er, I mean trained.

Thanks for the athletes. Awesome job to all of you!
