I will again head to St. George Utah in prep for IM St. George in May.  Although I am not racing it this year – this is my 4th training/racing weekend there – and there is plenty of wisdom to gain from training on the course prior to the race.

WHAT is a mini camp?  You arrive Thursday PM.  We train on the course Friday, Saturday and Half of Sunday.  You fly back mid day Sunday.

HOW:  Friday we will swim and bike the course.  Swim is in a really good local pool, bike we’ll do 2x loops of the main part of the course (70ish miles).  Saturday we swim again briefly (pools are closed on Sundays), ride the course from the swim and 1x loop (60 miles) and run the NEW run course (1 loop of the four).  Sunday morning we will run the course 2-3 loops.  Done by 12 or 1pm.

WHEN: March 16-18.  Arrive the 15th pm, depart the 18th pm – both from Las Vegas I recommend.

COST:  zero – all we do is divide expenses.  You pay plane, hotel, meals etc.  All you pay for is bike transport (I bring your bike for you) and my gas etc. to get it there…and my coaching expenses…

NUMBERS:  Mini camps are small numbers, I don’t want more than 8-10 people there.  It is supposed to be more focused and specific than a regular training camp.

NEXT:  let me know if you are going to be interested.  Then I will line up which hotel we’ll stay at ideal for the training/course.

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.

Thanks!
