London Training Camp

Tamir and I are in London for the 3rd wheel exclusive training camp. Raanan forgot to submit his application for the camp and therefor won’t be joining us. Raanan, you will be missed. I’ve been in London since Monday (just running & working) and Tamir arrived last night. The camp is all inclusive for 3rd wheel members and sponsored by 3rd wheel & “co.” (mainly the “co.” ). The main event is a long run by the Thames lasting around 2 hours on Saturday. Attractions will include us (duh)… and maybe a few sights on the riverfront (like the ferris wheel, etc). We are going to bring our trusty flip to document our London run so take a dramamine and get ready (it might be a bit shaky). Other than that, I had the pleasure of running with the Barclays Capital track club. We ran from the Barcap building in Canary Wharf over to a local track. It was a bit drizzly but we managed to start and soon enough the rain was over. I arrived quite confident that I was fast; after all, I did finish a whole marathon. Very quickly, I realized that I am ( for lack of a better term ) a “slow poke”. Our workout was 200m,400m,600m,800m,1000m,1000m,800m,600m,400m,200m with 60 second breaks after short sets and 90 second breaks after long sets. Granted I ran 50 minutes in the morning as well, but this workout was freakin’ hard!! After every set my pulse was around 192 and by the time I got started again it wasn’t that much less. The conclusion from this painful experience is that it’s time to start doing some track work. My muscles were sore the next day… Cheers!
