Happy training for the week of 8/12.

CTC Training Camp at Lake Almanor: The first ever CTC Training Camp wrapped up this past Sunday.  A special thank you goes out to Susan and Wally Marshall for donating the house for the event.  Thanks also to Rick Ellison for running the training aspect of the camp, and for some great video analysis of everyone's swim stroke.  Thanks also to Shawn Hughes for bringing his boat, which offered some R&R breaks from the training, including a great water taxi ride to dinner on Saturday night.  There was excellent open water swimming from the dock, some great riding around the lake and up to Mount Lassen, and a fabulous, shaded 10+ mile running trail easily accessed from the house.  While it has not yet been decided if another camp will be held next year, please email me directly (president@chicotriathlonclub.com) if you would like to be part of a planning committee that would be formed if another camp is going to be organized.

Races: Omitted from the last update, Mitch Harrell also competed in the August 4th  Tri for Real at Rancho Seco.  Sorry for the omission.

Ironman on TV:  In case you missed it, KNVN 24 will be re-airing the 2012 IRONMAN World Championship on Sunday, August 25th at 10:30 AM.
