Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

  We held our first training camp in March of 2014 (picture above). It's wild to think that it was 11 years ago when I told Karel that I wanted to bring our coaching athletes together for a group training camp.  At the time, we lived in Jacksonville, Florida. Clermont, Florida was a few hours away and the perfect location for a triathlon training camp. After a successful first camp, I started planning the next camp. We learned a lot and I wanted to make it even better. A few months later, we moved to Greenville, SC. We continued hosting our early season training camps in Clermont for a few more years, while also holding a second training camp (endurance camp) in our new home of Greenville, SC. 2020 was the year of our last training camp in Clermont, Florida. The world shut down due to Covid the week after we finished our camp. Since then, we have held all of our triathlon training camps in our incredible playground of Greenville, SC. Over the past few years we have added ...

  We just finished 3 packed days of triathlon training in Greenville, SC. with eleven campers. Although we've been holding camps for the last 10 years, this camp was extra special as we only had primarily first-time Trimarni campers. This means fresh ears and eyes to absorb a lot of information and skills.  When triathletes hear the word "skills" they often think that this focus is for newbies or beginners. But we believe that you are never too good, too old, too young, too fast or too slow to improve. When athletes come to our camp, they leave tired. They put in a lot of work over 3 days. But the main focus of our camps is learning. Athletes can train hard at home but when they attend a training camp, we want to make sure that the athlete learns how to train better and race smarter.  We see it and hear it all the time. Triathletes don't have the best bike handling skills. Open water swimming is exhausting and triathletes struggle to translate their pool technique and...

  Day 1 Friday:  8:30-9:30am - Long Course Swim at Westside Aquatic Center (technique and skills)  11am-12:30pm - Run workout at Furman (hills - strength and posterior chain activation) 2-4:30pm - Tour of Boyd Cycling followed by a bike skills and terrain management discussion  We have a great group of 10 athletes, with over half first-time Trimarni campers. We love returning campers but we also really enjoy having new ears and eyes to absorb new skills and information. Every Trimarni camper received Amp Human PR lotion (3 packets), Run In socks and a Trimarni water bottle. At the end of camp, every camper received a gift from us.  We started the morning with an hour long course swim focused on the technique and skills. After the swim, we had a short break before a late morning run workout. We are passionate about building strong and economical runners off the bike so the run workout included hills, strides, bounding and best EZ pace running. Our afternoon sess...

With so many training routes available to us in and around Greenville, SC. no two Trimarni camps are ever the same. With several returning athletes to our 2022 Early Season triathlon camp, we made sure to give our athletes new workouts, new routes and new experiences.  Every Trimarni camp includes the following:  -Safe run and cycling routes -Specific structured workouts (swim/bike/run) -Proper recovery and nutrition focus -Education -Specifically designed routes so that no one is too fast or too slow -Terrain management execution -Skills, technique and form focus -Race specific tips Our campers settled into Greenville, SC. on Wednesday afternoon/evening and we started our first day of camp bright and early on Thursday morning. The day before camp is always a bit hectic for me as I'm packing swag/goodie bags, printing off liability forms, triple checking the weather and pool reservations and answering any last minute questions from our campers. I always send out an itinerary b...
