(sick)
Travel day. Not a great end to the otherwise pretty awesome camp. Woke up early as we had a 5:20am trip to the airport to fly home. Felt awful, extremely nauseous, with a headache, fever, and just tired and generally sick. This was the theme of the day through the various types of transportation, until we finally made it home in the early afternoon where upon I promptly fell face first back into bed and continued to feel miserable until about 6am the next day. Then poof, it was mostly over.

So the Turkey training camp comes to a close and I think it was a great success. Many thanks to Boris for floating the idea and to Sam for being an organized responsible liaison for the whole club.
It was great to hang out with our mostly Linné crew of old friends and new. We trained hard, rested hard, and played a lot of games together.
I count 326 controls and 120k in 14.5 hours. I had a great result in the first day of the competition, a 20th place in the middle distance and, more than anything, this result gives me a great deal of confidence moving forward into the coming season.
I did manage to get a minor injury to my rib, which limited my training a bit, but I think I was successful at training through the pain but also respecting my body's limits.
2013 is off to a good start.
