Training Camps 2010

Hello everyone, we are putting the final touches on the 2010 training year and will have a listing of the training options for everyone shortly.

We are planning on hosting several camps in 2010 each with a different focus and I would like to see how many Club members would be interested in attending, what would you deem to be a reasonable cost, what expectations would you look for in the camps and any other feedback you can provide us would be grateful as this information will help us to better create a series of camps for you.

Tentatively these are the dates and camp ideas we are planning;

May 7-9th 2010 Okanagan bike camp. Plan is to ride in the North Okanagan (Vernon, B.C.) on Friday and Sunday. On Saturday we would head south to Penticton and ride the most if not all of the Ironman Canada course.

May 29-30th 2010 Olympic Distance Training camp. To be hosted here in Calgary this is intended to provide specific training for the Olympic distance events, presentations on racing, equipment and practicing transitions.

July 15-18th 2010 Ironman Canada preparation camp. We hope to have the actual swim course set up and patrolled by some local help, a supported ride on the IMC course and rolling aid stations along the run route.

The intention of these camps is really to focus on the training aspect versus spending too much "chalk talk" time as happens in so many camps.

Thanks!
