Greetings!
Happy fall everyone!  Tucson is finally cooling off and I am able to switch the 4:45am alarm to 6:00am! The mornings are crisp and sunny so it is a great environment for training. Every day I walk out of the door to start my morning and I feel so blessed and am thankful to be able to live here and train for a living.
Since my last newsletter I spent eight days in Aspen, Colorado with POC Sports and watching the US Pro Challenge, I raced Rev3 Maine, I raced HyVee 5150 Championships, I went to Interbike in Las Vegas and I raced Lifetime Fitness Tempe. It did not really seem like that much at the time but now that I write it down I am not sure how I did all of that. The more I learn and mature in the sport, the more I realize that sometimes I just have to "check the boxes". There is a lot to manage and I tend to overanalyze (like I am sure most of us Type A people do). I question am I training enough... am I traveling too much... am I eating out too much... am I sleeping enough. I look at the top athletes in every sport and they are all very busy doing sponsorship obligations, media interviews, photo shoots, traveling, racing, and above all winning. Now that I am getting a very small taste of this lifestyle, I am even more blown away by these incredible athletes.  |

Pumpkin Soup + Apples and Bacon!
 Ingredients
- 1 15oz can of pumpkin (make sure this is not pumpkin pie mix)
- 2 cups of chicken broth (can use cubes or broth, if you use cubes make sure to add water)
- ½ cup cream (or milk...but cream is better)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1 apple cubed
- Butter
- Crumbled Bacon
Simmer the pumpkin, broth, cream, and spice for 5 minutes occasionally whisking in the maple syrup. If you have a Vitamix you can also throw all of the ingredients in there and mix on high for about 5 minutes until the soup is steaming. In a frying pan, cook the cubed apples in butter until soft. Top the soup with the apples and bacon and enjoy!

Swim - Arm Workout
| Warm up:
600 - 100 swim/ 100 catch up drill/ 100 kick
Two rounds of :
- 30 seconds alternating pulls with swim cords on deck
- 30 seconds double arm pulls with swim cords on deck
Main set:
Dive into a 600 freestyle with the first 200 all out and 400 settle into race pace Rest 1:00 Directly into 12x50 done as: - 3 at race pace rest :05
- 1 at recovery pace rest :15
- repeat above 3x
Keep a QUICK turnover. I recommend using a Finis tempo trainer in your cap to keep the arms moving fast. Forget the "glide" and focus on turnover and kicking as little as possible with still staying on pace. 200 easy Repeat this main set of 1400 total and try to hit the same times as you did on the first round. If possible, check the clock to see what you are hitting on the 400 at race pace so that you can simulate that same pace on the 50s. Optional pull set: 4x300 Alternate breathing every 3/5/7 by 100. Rest :30 in between each. |

Tom Danielson's Cycling Escape 
If you are looking to do some miles on the bike this winter in sunny Tucson then you should come out to Tom Danielson's Cycling Escape this fall. It is a 6 night, 5 day camp in scenic Tucson. There you will have the opportunity to ride with 3x Tour de France rider, Tom Danielson, and also enjoy the extras such as meals prepared by the Garmin-Sharp chef Sean Fowler, onsite massages, and the opportunity to ride the same bikes used by Garmin Sharp in the Tour de France. I will be helping out as well specifically with the women.
More information can be found on the website (tommydcyclingescape.com). If you are interested or have specific questions contact me at Lauren.l.goss@gmail.com. I am looking forward to meeting some of you. There are only 8 slots at each session in order to provide sufficient one-on-one time so the sooner you sign up the better.
