Needless to say, the two days were single handedly the most disgustingly hard days I've ever had on a bike. This was of course due to the fact that we had a 40km TT on the Computrainer as well as a VO2 Max test and Spin scan test. The 40km TT was definitely the hardest, each athlete was continuously trying to better the previous athletes time over the 40km distance. The VO2 testing was a different kind of disgusting all together, with the power gradually increasing on the Computrainer, the thought in the back of all our minds was, "O BOY!!!!" Unfortunately the computer which was monitoring my test switched off near the end, so I was unable to get a perfectly accurate result.
But nevertheless this specific HP camp was by far the most well organised and professional camp I have been on to date. The hotel we stayed in was absolutely fantastic, the food was spectacular and the level professionalism was at the highest level. With people such as Jeroen Swart, Tim Goodenough, Johann Wykerd and the entire team it definitely made the Camp very worth while and extremely thorough.
A huge thanks needs to go out to CSA, MTBSA, Johann Wykerd and Jeroen Swart and his team! Without you guys it wouldn't be possible to run such a tight shift program!
VO2 Max Test = Death
