Custom Training Camp

One area GEC is getting into is setting up camps for athletes at whatever their level. I was approached by an athlete who was new to the sport and wanted a private camp for himself and his training partners.

Can do.

Tim, Tamara, and Kathi showed up on Weds night here in Tucson and between then and Sunday our goal was to team them all we know about getting into the sport of triathlon in a healthy, efficient, effective way.

We did a lot of training in the 4 days. We also sis a lot of talking about all aspects of swimming, cycling, running, transitions, nutrition, strength and core training, injury prevention, and about anything else we could think of. We fit them each on their bikes using the RETUL 3D system. We did blood lactate testing on each bike and run, and spend time each day swimming--including video analysis at the Trisports.com Endless Pool and open water training at Patagonia Lake.

Whew. I'm tired thinking about it and they went through it!

The feedback I received was that they learned a lot, got a lot out of the time with the GEC coaching staff, and will go home motivated and physically and mentally ready for a great season in 2011! And we had a great time getting to know 3 more triathletes and friends.

I've got a great job!
