Following a swim session, Endorphine Daze athletes set out on the bikes to take in a challenging but still one of the most beautiful Penticton rides. The first half of the 80 km ride included climbing green mountain road, then descending down the other side, before having to take on Yellow Lakes, the steepest climb of the Ironman Canada bike course, for the second time in two days. After Yellow Lakes, the only section of todays ride on the main highway, riders got back onto the some of the most beautiful and vehicleless roads around. Through training, testing and lectures riders are learnring a lot about "overreaching", the effects and appropriate use of training volumes and intensities and markers for warning signals of poor physical states that would affect training quality. I think this year campers are going to leave camp stronger and smarter about their training approaches.
