Denia Training Camp: Training Day 1 <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A good night’s sleep is so helpful, improves the mood and the ability to execute so much. \u00a0We woke just before 8, consumed tea, and made ready for breakfast. \u00a0The hotel breakfast is suitable, a buffet with cereals, bread, cheese and ham, eggs, tortillas, fruit and juice. \u00a0 Something for just about all tastes. \u00a0After breakfast, back to the room to prepare for the ride.<\/p>\n

The day’s ride was billed something like:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • 25km flat<\/li>\n
  • 25km uphill on first climb<\/li>\n
  • 10km downhill<\/li>\n
  • 5km second climb<\/li>\n
  • 10km descent<\/li>\n
  • 25km flat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    The group is overall quite large (\u00b120), we were going to ride together to the start of the first climb at Pego, and from there see how it worked out. \u00a0The roll out to Pego was very pleasant, and it was obvious as soon as we hit the climb that there was a mix of abilities….<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    I pretty much held on to the leaders for the whole climb, bar the last km where they stretched their legs. (left me for dead) \u00a0So the front group ended up as eight chaps, and we were some distance ahead of the other group (where Jon sensibly stayed, taking it steady the whole day) \u00a0I felt I was stretched, but not over-stretched for the day. \u00a0The next bit of the ride I struggled a bit, I was trying to eat a bar and had a lot of difficulty doing that and keeping with the group. \u00a0Once I’d consumed the bar, I was back on the group and we continued, rolling along to the next climb, without issue. \u00a0As it turned out the descent and flat were far from that, only the last 10 were flat. \u00a0Those last 10km were really nice, just rolling along in the group back to the hotel. \u00a0Of course Jon had the key to the room, so I had to arrange Juan to open the room for me.(frightening how easy that was without and credential check or anything!)<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    A recovery drink, a shower and Jon turned up. \u00a0at least the internet is moving faster again, so I could actually upload the day’s ride to Garmin Connect. \u00a0We put the kit into the washing machine, and relaxed in anticipation of the evening. \u00a0Dinner in the hotel tonight.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
