~11 Days~

11 days until I jump over to the magical world of bike racing in euro land. Anxiety is high but I'm not stressed. Training is going well, of course a mild Boulder February, 60s and near 70 today help. Heading up to the Camp Eden Training Center for a plyo session shortly then its back to getting my affairs in order before a delicious happy hour at the Med with my lady.

The next 11 days will be action packed, typically BearClaw style, leave no room for rest but that's okay. I have to make the most of it all.

Chow,
Bearclaw

Plyo sessions are wicked crazy box jumping efforts mixed with short bursts on the bike and 30s max effort intervals. Keep in mind, these must be performed at 9300' for maximum physical and mental enjoyment =)

The goal is to help develop fast twitch fibers and improved reactionary times. Plus it gets your body accustomed to pain and o2 deprivation.
