Tucson

March 27 – April 4th, 2010

Tucson! Spring! Sun and warmth, oh how I love thee. My fondness for Colorado Springs wanes this time of year and I yearn for time outside. We weren’t able to go to Tucson for Spring Break this year and after spending several days whining and complaining about it, Steve all but packed my bags for me and kicked me out the door. Road trip! Alone! I packed the van with my bike, sunscreen and a swimsuit and headed South. Had a great week with mom and my own personal triathlon camp.

I rode several times with the Cactus Cycling Club and had a great time. Really friendly people and some great rides. My favorite was from Amado to Arivaca. 50 miles total. Met some really great people and the return ride was a blast.

Totals for the week:

130 miles cycling; 6500 ft ascent

20 miles running; 1400 ft ascent

3000 yards swimming

Here is what training in Colorado in March looks like:

And a week later in Tucson:
