Epic Camp Day One - Vancouver to Whistler

Day started off early with a 6:15am run of about 6 miles, over to the pool that is 137m long.  Then we did our swim.  Warm up was two lengths, then we had a 5 lap race.  I did not finish last, but I was way down on the uber swimmers.  Then run back to the hotel.  

So that was an ass kicker itself.  Then, try to cram in replacement calories from the morning activities, without overdoing it so as to not chunder on the bike, in about 30 mins.  Food is good.  They have something called Ems Power Cookies in N Zed.  They are freaking delicious.  I like Bonk Breakers and Picky Bars and such.  But Ems are that much better.  Wish we had 'em in the States.

Then on the bike to Whistler.  Nice and slow thru West Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay.  Friendly locals waving to us from passing cars.  Then onto Hwy 99 north:  Lumpy, and rumble strips are no fun on high speed descents.

Hung with the front group until the sustained climb out of Squamish began, then took the remainder at my own pace.  

Job done Day One.
