A conditioning circuit in the S & C gym at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Centre. An astonishing place, but no pull up bars that can be easily used by short people without broad shoulders. We jumped and skipped and kettlebelled.

Up to the Rockies now, past the spectacular views of Pike's Peak, to run on Lake George. This was a short but lung busting jog up to the start, where the views were magnificent!

Long mixed technique training session. Started with a fine O'/pick, switched to long long compass only legs of which I hit the first bang on and was pleasingly close on the second, despite a big ridge to the right. Then contour only on the top of a stunning hill. At the end of that Michael said Julia was struggling, so I ran back and never found her. But Julia doesn't struggle, she puts her head down and gets things done, and she appeared on the later corridor exercise still being awesome. We jogged back together and saw some deer. What a map!

Hanging some controls for the relocation exercise. Met up with the juniors and Thomas saw a bear cub. Eep!

Relocation exercise! Running interspersed with walking and standing around. Really cool to watch strategies develop during the course of the exercise.
