Sante Fe Training Camp - Days 3

Day three of training camp had two distinct training components.  We started off the day with a spicy 7-mile (2,000 vertical ft.) out and back trail run on Mount Atalaya on the east side of Santa Fe.  After some lunch, we headed out for a really neat 40-mile loop in northwestern Santa Fe.  On the loop, we saw this dust devil alongside the road that was pretty neat.  The first part of the loop had some rough road conditions, but the back part was super smooth sailing.

On tired legs, we broke up a bit and Rachel and I stayed together while Brian and Ed cranked on up on the road.  Total ride time was 2:30:00 and another 128 TSS banked for the afternoon.

I actually can't remember the name of this restaurant, but Coach EK took us out to a night dinner after a couple of hard days of training.  I think this was actually a place that Ed knew well as he comes down to Santa Fe fairly regularly.

Such a quality group of teammates to spend time with and train together.  This has been a great few hard days of training.  With only one big day to go, this was a fun night of food and conversation as we tried to quickly recover.
