While many triathletes go the course venue for a triathlon camp, I went to my favorite place to cycle, Black Earth Wisconsin. Our friends Kurt and Diane Ehling have a place up there. In any direction there is 1000 feet of elevation change for every 10 miles of riding. The roads have almost no traffic on them.


My schedule for this memorial weekend was as follows:

Saturday:
Cycled 90.8 miles and averaged 15 mph. Probably did 11,000 feet of climbing.

Sunday:
Ran 10 miles, half of it with Marion. Then I cycled 50 miles and averaged 14.7 mph. I probably did about 5500 feet of climbing. I then called my coach because I was mentally spent. He suggested that I do the 60 miles of riding but don't do some much hill climbing.

Monday:
Rode 60 miles with the last 26 with Marion. I averaged 15.6 mph in the 34 miles I rode myself. I probably did 3500 feet of climbing.

Overall if I probably did 20,000 feet of climbing. Overall great triathlon camp workout. I plan to go up to Black Earth one more time before Ironman Lake Placid July 20th.
