Day 4 - The arrival of reinforcements!

So today was our last training day on our and the arrival of the remainder of the CAF CISM Team. There was a lot of logistics today, return of a rental van, pick-up of team members, and of course our own training so we ended up breaking into three groups.

First up for me was an easy early morning run of 7km.

I spend the day with Martin and his wife Elvy and yes at times I felt like the third wheel. We went to NTC at 8 a.m. for a swim. I swam 4200m (Elvy swam about the same) while Martin the monster did 6000m. When we arrived there was a team there (I think QT2) and their athletes swam continuously for 4000m or 1hr we aren't quite sure which. By swimming I mean a time trial...it looked painful.

After our swim we headed back to the house to clean-up our rooms for the cleaners, take on some nutrition, and get ready for our long ride. Today we rode to Haines City and then completed the 70.3 Florida bike course. (Photos of the ride are compliments of Martin).
The route is marked with these signs!

By the time we got back to the house everyone had pretty much arrived. It was the standard greetings (great to see so many familiar faces and a new one), settling into our accomodations, and then the evening group mtg.
