AFTER THE TWO AND A HALF TOUGH WEEKS CAME TWO
As planned, the body was feeling the effects of the bigger hours I'd punished my body with in early/mid June, and as such, the planned "two week re-coup" period came at a perfect time.

It's just so great to get everyone together laughing, and hanging out again after an April spent recharging the batteries and it is also the truest reminder that we are indeed right back into full-swing with regards to our Olympic prep. Sure, the Games are still 10 months away, but after spending a little over a week training twice a day with my teammates, there's no denying that those 5 simple intertwined rings are on all our minds as we begin to put in yet another season of serious kilometers.
