2nd Annual Training Camp...PRICELESS!

Just returned last night from our second annual "pre-Cheaha" training camp in Toledo-bend. Same crew as last year (Me, Doc, Don and Ward) with the addition of SuperDave. Slight change in accommodations this year, we stayed at the Cypress Bend Golf Resort instead of Doc's camp (it's a long story...let's just say, "property settlement"!)
Anyway, the accommodations, training, and company were all OUTSTANDING! We managed two good hours of killer hill repeats Sunday and followed it up with 81 miles over challenging rollers on Monday. In between the suffering we managed to keep ourselves well entertained. Of coarse, this was at the expense of one another...as always everyone was warned on the front end to "bring their thick skin" and it was a "non-stop, no holds bared" verbal slugfest for the entire trip. While there were some classics thrown back and forth, I'm afraid they all would fall into the "You had to be there" category.

For those of you not up on your Toledo-Bend history...we had some debate as to when the lake was actually created...If interested check out the historical section at the SRA site.

From the "little known and less cared for facts" category of the trip...just in case you are wondering...Arby's does not stand for "Anytime Roast Beef, Yes Sir" but is actually derived from the initials "R.B."...Full details given at the Arby's website. Actually thought Don and Ward might exchange blows over this one... :)

A good time was had by all...
