 for the rest of the week. As you can imagine, this really put a damper on my training. I was only able to do upper body lifting and easy double pole rollerskiing. Sometimes, the body needs a break and it will find a way to get one. This week I am feeling better and am back on a normal training schedule. This weekend I ran a 2.8 mile uphill race held here in Gunnison. It was a good intensity session. The rest of my week will include a 30 min. level 3 pace pursuit, some hard level 5 intervals bounding, a distance rollerski with speed, an over distance mountain bike ride and the all important 3 visits to my local gym.</p>
<p><b>How has your body reacted to the San Diego camp? What are your thoughts on this type of training?</b></p>
<p> My body absorbed the training very well I thought. It took me a couple of days to get into the groove and see the results we were looking for while taking lactates on the roadside, but then it was right on for the next 11 days. I have an unusually low lactate production, which makes me need to go hard from the start to get enough lactate built up. For example, the other ladies had the ability to go too hard and would have to at times harness their efforts so to not create too much lactic acid in their muscles. I on the other hand went nearly all out for every interval. The amazing thing is that we did 176 min. of level 4 intervals in 9 days!<br />
