July 12th - "Training" Camp

A couple of friends and I went down to West Point Lake with the purpose of doing a training camp.  I wasn't able to get there until about 5pm so I got in exactly zero training today.  That's OK though because it was a regularly scheduled rest day and if I am not serious about tapering and resting until the big day I could be in for a struggle to get through the race.  Even though the trip was supposed to be about training, it was more about spending time with some friends that have already completed an Ironman event and learning from them.  Both Shaun and Eddie taught me some things that I will need to think about and do to prepare for the race as well as do during the race.
