This week has been a great experience for everyone. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the last week here in Biloxi, Mississippi. The days were filled with a lot of intense training, food and rest. Many of the campers we met were only used to training 4-5 km a session so they did a great job in taking on the challenge and joining the surrey park group in two 6-7 km sessions a day. We all made many new friends and hopefully we will be able to keep in touch with those people when we get home. The food here was great and the cooking staff we amazing in not only cooking for us but holding back the meals several times (especially Saturday when we were especially late) to make sure we were fed. It was great spending some time with the Olympians Neil Walker (or Weil Norker), Ian Crocker and former American Record holder Chris Kemp. They were really nice people and were very generous in giving their time. They taught us many new tricks of the trade and were very helpful and sincere in their advice. We all really appreciated Neil and Ian’s stories on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and how genuine they were in their talks. We hope to be able to keep the relationships with them and Surrey Park for the future. We must thank Coach Dave, Perri, Coach Meaghan, Coach RICH, Coach Jamie and Jane for all their organization and help to make the camp an enjoyable experience for everyone.
