Vermont Training Camp (June 11-13, 2010)

Training Camps have been a a staple of pro athletes for years. Football players have "mini-camp" in May, well before the season. Baseball players have spring training just a month before the season.

Pro cycling teams have their camps in December in exotic, warm locations. Even pro triathletes go to race locations to prepare for the biggest events. Back in 2002, 3x World Champion, Peter Reid, lived up on a Hawaiian volcano leading up to the Ironman World Championships in Kona!

However, you don't have to be a pro athlete to benefit from a training camp, even if it is just for a weekend. This is why Competitive Instinct Multisport will be holding its first camp in Landgrove, Vermont this June.

The first factor as to why I chose this little village as the location is its proximity to amazing biking and running routes, as well as a pool and pond for swimming. Another reason, which I feel is overlooked, is how cell phone and internet is very limited.

Training camps should be just for that, Training. Landgrove is the perfect place to leave your phone, beeper, computer in their cases and just focus on getting in solid workouts. Over the 2+ days, there will be clinics on race strategy and nutrition, a killer 45+ mile base bike ride, with the option to climb Bromley Mountain for those who want extra bike training and an excellent 6 mile dirt road run loop. But the workouts are not limited to those. CI Multisport provides the base workouts and then directs and aids in continuing to train outside of the group.

If you want to ride 150 miles on Saturday, we have a loop. If you want to run 20 miles, we have a route. That is why Landgrove is an ideal spot.

We are also going to be based at the Landgrove Inn (www.landgroveinn.com) which is owned by Tom (a triathlete!) & Maureen. They have opened up their place, including their conference center to CI Multisport and will be providing all meals from their amazing restaurant.

With the Northeast triathlon season kicking off just a week prior, it is the perfect time to get that last big block in before prepping for Ironman Lake Placid, Providence 70.3 or whatever your race is.
