August 2, 2009 (Burnaby, BC) – It’s still very hot out here in BC and no less hot under the dome at the Burnaby Velodrome. Our intrepid crew of junior riders were joined in training by returning Pan Am Championships medalist Laura Brown as well as Cody Campbell and Matt Potma and few other local riders to add to the quality of the training camp.

On tap today was a Team Sprint test with our two sprinters Allan Leparskas and Scott Mulder teaming up with Jacob Schwingboth in a successful first attempt. The endurance riders were doing a variety of flying team efforts ranging from 500m to 2 km and Jacob Schwingboth partnered up with Cody Campbell behind the pace bike for two 15-minute Madison sessions at 50+ kph.

Monday is BC day out west and after four hard days of training the team is taking a well deserved  recovery day including an easy spin down to the beach in White Rock and then a barbque at chez Schwingboth with head chef Sporty Schwingboth (Jacob’s dad). The whole crew will be back at it hard again on Tuesday and Wednesday in their final preparations for the Aug 11-15 competition in Moscow.
