Breakthroughs happen in the most unlikely of places. Pre-season camps are an awesome opportunity to challenge yourself, push through previously existing barriers and bump your fitness to the next level. It’s also an opportunity to meet new people, see beautiful places and treat yourself in an all-triathlon environment for a few, focused days.
Join us in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina from May 3-10 for a breakthrough camp that will challenge and inspire you. This bike-focused camp will improve your climbing and descending skills and include a ride up Mt. Mitchell, the highest mountain east of the Mississippi. We will offer individual swim stroke analysis and practice our open water skills in nearby Lake James. There will be runs, bricks and lectures on topics critical to your success in 2023. With beautiful accommodations and meals provided by our partners at First Bourn, we’ll train and eat together; strive and struggle together. You will emerge a stronger, more informed, more confident cyclist and triathlete.
LifeSport coaches Lance Watson, Juliet Hochman and Jeff Sankoff will be on point for 8 days of focused workouts, technical sessions, lectures, clinics and more. Camp will include:
- Bike-focused camp with challenging rides 5 out of our 6 full training days with several 3+ hour workouts including Mt. Mitchell, at 6684′ in elevation.
