Endorphine Daze athletes covered the majority of the IM run course on Friday, last day of camp and about the 18th to 20th hour of training for the week. Best success story goes to Erin. How many times have you wanted to pack it in, for some reason get talked into a few more minutes and then voila, somehow someone, maybe your coach got you to finish the whole darn thing. This is Erin's first year of triathlon, and her first IM, and while we are at it, her first camp. So by Friday she was getting a little tired. Erin ran into Ok Falls our 1/3 to 1/2 way point for runners. Her legs were cooked and she declared enough was finally enough. I told her climbing out of OK Falls is one of the worst parts of the IM Run so i said she had to do that and i would pick her up in the support truck at the top. As we got to the top i kept going until the road flattended out a little bit, my co pilot thought i was being a little mean, but i needed to let her feel the relief of the flats after the climb, WHY? Because when she reached us in the truck on the flat stretch, she asked surprisngly if that was the climb back there. Erin was starting to get a head of steam on the flats and possibly the worst is behind her??? So at the end of the day Erin finished the run to our predetermined finish line and therefore ran ~ 17 miles instead of 8.5. Congrats to the whole gang of Aerobic Power athletes and the Calgary contingent at the camp who were tons of fun and as tough as nails.
