Day 3 Tucson Smashfest

It is going to be really hard to go back to work next week.

Day 3 and the Tucson Smashfest. I had to steal a few pics from Hillary's blog. We actually have a ton of pictures floating around, but I probably won't get to them until camp is over.

Today we did the Gates Pass/McCain Loop Ride with Hillary. It was an absolute blast, and my riding legs are definitely coming around. I am LOVING my new bike fit and so happy to be getting in bike miles!!! (I could do without the saddle sore, though- did not get it here, have had it for a while now:(...and Hillary scared me today with a really graphic saddle sore story- not her story, but a nasty one nonetheless).

Today's ride was gorgeous! Cacti everywhere and not a cloud in the sky. I was with new friends and just having an absolute blast.

Hillary was in charge of the pictures today. She takes the cake for remembering to use her camera.

Gate's Pass- finished!

Then it was time......the 100x 100 swim set. Oh yes, my first attempt at the distance. Actually, I have never gone over 5,000 yards in my life. Why not double that? Hillary divided us into lanes and read our final will and testaments gave us our sets/instructions.

My lane mates- Jimi and Kevin. They ROCKED!!!!!

Michelle and I had this deal that if I did my 100 x 100, I would earn a special swim cap that she brought just for me on this occasion....

The authentic Michelle Simmons- BSC, aka Bat Shit Crazy, cap.

On my 99th- 100, Michelle gave me the cap to wear for my final 100....and it is now mine to keep forever! I am now officially on team BSC. 10,000 yards..... doable, with the right mindset, fuel, and GREAT lane mates. If everyone is on board, you can really push yourself and each other.

And the thing is, I was swimming a faster pace the entire workout than I do for most of my master's workouts. So, it is not like we were piddling around. Crazy where your mind and body can go if you just decide you are going to do it.

Over and out- tomorrow is Mt Lemmon, brick run, and some light swimming followed by dinner at Hillary and Maik's house. I can't believe camp is almost over. BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want the fun to end!!!!!
