2025 Trimarni Endurance Camp - wrap-up

  On August 24th, we wrapped up our 25th (+) camp (I've lost count since our first camp in 2014!) and what an incredible experience it was! Over three days, our 11 campers/athletes from Florida, South Carolina, Chicago, Georgia and Washington worked on their technique in the pool, excelled at terrain management, TT work and bike handling skills, and built durability with three runs —while also learning new pacing strategies, building confidence, and connecting with others who share the same passion for the sport. Over three days, our campers accomplished:  1 hour of technique-focused swimming at the Westside Aquatic Center. ~8 hours of terrain management, pacing, TT work, climbing, descending and bike handling skills.  Around 9,000 feet of elevation gained on the bike. Almost 2 hours of running - with two runs off the bike.  With athletes ranging from 29 to 67 years of age, every day was packed with opportunities to grow stronger, smarter, and more prepared for the r...

'25 Early Season Training Camp - behind the scenes

  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 ...

2025 Gravel Skills Camp

This weekend we held our third gravel skills camp in DuPont State Forest. We welcomed former gravel skills campers and a few new faces. We spent over 11 hours, spread over two days, discussing, demonstrating and applying important bike handling skills for riding off road.  On Saturday, we met at Fawn Lake parking lot and discussed PSI and puncture repair kits. We then rode out to the airstrip and spent the next two hours discussing and working on specific skills (ex. cornering, descending, stopping, heavy feet/light hands). We took a break for lunch and ate in the parking lot and around 1pm we headed out on our adventure ride through Dupont forest and around Cascade Lakes. It was a beautiful day with warm temperatures in the upper 60s.  On Sunday we met at Tuxedo park in Zirconia, NC. We started off with a refresher of skills around the lake and then headed out on an 8-mile road ride before hitting the gravel into Dupont. We had a 4 mile steady gravel climb and then did a loop...

  Over 4 days, our campers accumulated:  3.5 hours of swimming (pool and open water) Over 10 hours of cycling (and over 9,000 feet elevation gain) Around 4 hours of running Almost 18 hours of training As an athlete, you can gain a lot in a group training camp. You discover strengths that you didn't know that you have. You push yourself a lot more than you do when you train alone. You put yourself in new situations and scenarios and you find yourself more willing to stretch your comfort zone. Day 1 90-minute technique focused swim - Camp gives athletes the chance to slow down and focus on the small details. We design our camps so that day 1 is always focused on technique and skills. During this swim, athletes were able to focus on a variety of drills (with pool tools like snorkel, kickboard, fins, paddles, buoy) and then apply each drill to normal swimming. This was helpful to identify which drill(s) were most effective to better (normal) swimming.  80-minute strength base...
