What's the training camp you're referring to? Cycling related or Boot Camp? How to get the whiner off your shoulder? Hmmm, I always tend to focus on my surroundings during a ride and that puts me in a better mood (the trees, the birds darting back and forth, the cloud formations against a blue sky, etc.) - it's simple but works for me.
It's a Spring Training Camp in the Blue Ridge Mtns of VA. Fortunately, it appears to be full, not that we could afford it anyway (and I don't think I could handle a full week with that coach w/o going absolutely Postal on someone. ).

I've actually thrown out my back watching birds from my bike (and ridden my bike completely off the road!). Birdwatching + bike riding = very bad for my health! My main problem is I am faster than the slow riders and slower than the fast riders, so I'm forever stuck in no-man's land on each group ride.
