Treat yourself to a single sport camp which will enable you to focus on fitness and technical skills in the discipline that dominates the largest percentage of any triathlon – the BIKE!
Join us in Hood River, Oregon from August 2-6, 2023 for a bike camp that will challenge and inspire you. Repeat ITU and 70.3 World Champion, Coach Juliet Hochman, will share with you the hills and flats that provided her the training grounds for the fastest bike splits across the age group and professional women’s fields. Rides will include hill work, endurance efforts and focused bike agility and balance skills. Come enjoy the breath-taking beauty of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and the Columbia River Gorge as we cruise along the historic highway and through the orchards and vineyards of the fertile Hood River valley. In addition to our focus on biking, we will offer two swim workouts – one open water and one intentional swim session, coached by professional athlete and LifeSport coach, Kimberly Goodell. Want to run too? If you have the legs, we’ll happily point you in the right direction. We’ll train and eat together; strive and struggle together. You will emerge a stronger, more informed, more confident cyclist.
Camp will include:
- Workshops focused on hill climbing and bike handling skills to increase confidence
- Beautiful, iconic rides skirting the Columbia River Gorge and through Hood River’s orchards and vineyards.
- Challenging endurance and threshold rides.
- Discussions on bike pacing using heart rate and/or power
- Nutrition and hydration guidelines
- Optional river and pool swim…and a wine-tasting ride!
- Mental preparation for hard workouts and key performances.
