Hi all – Just a short note that I am starting to finalize our Ironman St. George Mini Camp, March 10-13 in St. George, Utah.

WHAT: a mini camp is a short, 2.5 day, camp at the race site. We ride & run the course in prep for IM and become familiar with all aspects of the race. This allows us to be very prepared for the final weeks of training and for race day.

WHEN: we arrive Thursday PM, in order to swim and ride one loop on Friday. We depart Sunday early afternoon after a morning swim & run.

WHO: For sure anybody doing IMSG. If you have friends, teammates etc. who want to join, great. BUT we will need to limit the mini camp to 10 people. Why smaller numbers? Because this is a very focused weekend with LOTS of communication, strategy, race planning, input and coaching. IF we bring another coach (highly likely), we could expand to 12.

HOW: Friday we swim at a local pool, ride the course for a double loop (80ish miles). In the afternoon we review the lake swim course and first 25 miles of the bike. Saturday we ride 1 loop again and run 1 loop of the course. In the PM, since we have now seen the entire course, we review at an early dinner, discuss race strategy – nutrition – weather – and race day logistics. Sunday is a swim and another run loop. I look to be finished by noon.

COST: Free – I only divide our expenses and will look for contributions for our SAG driver and logistics (this is dependent on attendance numbers). I WILL be bringing bikes for anybody in the Bay Area joining.

NEXT: Please let me know if you are interested in attending – an email will suffice. Once I have a good feel for numbers, I will organize hotel OR a home rental (this is dependent on attendance numbers). I will also plan the pool sessions as size effects which pool. I will also start restaurant prep for our group meeting/dinner in a private room.

Thank you! Hope you can join!
