The focus of this camp is a reconnaissance of the Ironman Coeur d’Alene triathlon race course. Gather firsthand knowledge of the course, including all the major climbs and descents, turns and water currents. Learn strategies and skills to help you improve energy conservation and optimize fueling and hydration, and get two long training days to help you prepare for race conditions. This training camp is designed for beginner to advanced triathletes. With small groups and a high coach-to-athlete ratio, this non-competitive learning environment is designed to accommodate individual learning needs.
Location: Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
This camp focuses on training for Ironman triathlon distance and will concentrate on tools and techniques for increasing the quality and effectiveness of your training sessions year-round.
