Brick Weekend Conclusion
After a solid day on Friday, everyone awoke to a nice little thunderstorm that had moved into the Madison area overnight. After making the Infinit solution and loading up the Pathfinder, we headed down to the Terrace to see who showed up. Around 10-15 swimmers made it through the rain, put on the Blue Seventy Helix suits and hopped in the lake for an hour long swim.
After the swim, Chris V from Element and Dina A from DMA Nutrition made sure everyone was set for the ride. We had around 40-50 riders of all abilities set and ready to go. We headed out along the lake front out to Verona. About 5 miles into the ride is when the fun started, flat tires, tire punctures and a couple spills later, the group was split up. Chris from Element did a GREAT job in the SAG vehicle, getting everyone back on the road and rolling again.
I ended up at the back of the ride to make sure everyone had their tires fixed (yes, there were that many that Chris couldn't get them all) and had a great time riding the rest of the way out to Verona with Jason. We got to Firemans park (the clouds had gone away and the sun was out in full force) and met up with another group of riders and took off onto the loop.
Going through the loop, we picked up a few riders along the way until we go to Coffee shop outside of Cross Plains where we linked up with another small group of riders. We headed off to attack the hills (the 3-sisters) and had a great rest of the day. Jeff, Christine, Christina, Jason, Joe, Andrea... you guys are rock stars, I had a blast riding with you!
Once we got back to Madison, the group transitioned into the run to cap off the day of training. After the tranistion run, everyone headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up and off to dinner.
We reconviened at 7PM at the Great Dane in Fitchburg for dinner, enjoyed some great company and a couple question and answer sessions from Don with Mona Vie, Andrea with Swim Across America and Dina with sports nutrition.

Over all, we had a spectacular weekend! We are already looking forward to next year!

Brick Weekend- Day 1
22 May 2009
The first day of the 2nd Annual Brick Weekend is in the books. We started off the camp at 4PM with an hour swim at Lake Monona in Madison, WI. 14 swimmers hopped in the lake to find that the water was "pleasantly warm."
A special thanks to Blue Seventy, they were kind enough to send out the
entire test fleet of Helix Wetsuits.
After the hour long swim, the athletes hopped out of the lake, completed a quick transition and were off on the run.
After the first day of workout, everyone cleaned up
and met for dinner at Brocach Irish Pub
and Restaurant for an awesome dinner!
Now everyone is back at the hotel and getting some quality sleep before the 5-8 hours of workouts tomorrow!
