In case you didn't hear.....it's MARCH!! Am I the only one that feels like January is twelve weeks long and then boom, it's the spring??
We are just a few weeks away from our first camp of 2019 which means triathlon season is coming soon!!
I've lost count of how many group camps we have put on over the past seven years but the group camp experience is something we look forward to every year. While they are stressful and time-consuming to plan, it's always a rewarding and special experience when we see our campers in action, supporting one another and stepping out of their comfort zone and into their courage zone.
We only have a few slots (3) left for our March Skills camp so don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to train outside in a group setting (especially if you've been training indoors), improve your swim/bike/run skills, learn valuable information to apply to your training and racing and stretch your comfort zone as you prepare for your first triathlon race of 2019. Oh yeah, we also have pretty cool swag for our campers. What triathlete doesn't love swag??
When most of your training is done by yourself, you can certainly focus on your own journey. But, as a result, your training environment becomes very controlled and familiar. Bad habits can develop and you may find yourself struggling to step out of what's comfortable and "easy".
A group camp also brings out the best in you. You are less likely to make excuses and you give a lot more than you think you would ever be capable of giving.
Whereas many training camps focus on accumulating miles, we believe in a nice mix of training, education and skill development. Ultimately, our goal at our camps is to help our athletes explore their true physical and mental capabilities with education, application and real-world training experiences.
Although we have a lot of fun at our camps, we spend a lot of time on posture, running form, swim technique, terrain management, up and downhill running, bike handling skills, descending, cornering or terrain management – all things that may be new, unfamiliar, uneasy/uncomfortable or rarely practiced.
Lastly, a group training camp also provides you with the opportunity to experience what it is like to train when you are rested (good sleep), fueled (good eating) and present (mentally strong). It is important to us that our campers return to their home environment with a better understanding of how important good sleep, proper fueling, nutrient timing and application of sport nutrition, alongside better mental strength, can assist in athletic development and optimal health. Imagine what you could do with a body that is well rested, well fueled and mentally focused without distractions??
A training camp is a big investment, requiring time away from work/family but what you get in return is an inspiring, education, fun, challenging, memorable and life-changing experience.
