Dubai Training Camp

Every year around this time we return to our beach cottage at the United Arab Emirates state of Dubai. Here our mission is to revisit some often neglected fundamentals of training such as sun bathing, fishing, and night clubs. However, since Katiki is competing in Ironman Hawii 2010 we felt it was proper to step it up a notch. To help guide us through our 3 day camp, Tiki managed to pick up a second hand sweat stained little book known as Bicycling's Fitness Training Manual printed in 1988 (1000X better than the generic lie filled anti-Christ trash known as the Cyclist's Training Bible).


Katiki focused primarily on toning her gluteus maximus while working on improving her fast twitch muscle fiber recruitment. Obvious choice would be Split Jumps.


Tiki's obvious choice for workout and rational for selecting follows:

Now Tiki illustrates perfect form as he turns sand into gold medals:



Additional muscle shredding exercise followed and was documented for the sole purpose of intimidating any potential competitors who monitor this blog. Are you sure you want to sign up to race against with these two avatars? Maybe you can blame getting dropped on "being sick", we love hearing that time tested cyclist excuse.



Should have warned you... these images will probably defiantly cause nightmares or at least post traumatic stress syndrome for most competitors. Here is a soothing shot to ease the tension.



Lovers, doing what we do best... loving. I love her!

  1. I've been doing sand grabbers for years- when you combine them with step-ups you have the perfect workout for podium ceremonies.
