The TriSportCoaching Summer Triathlon Camp is held in Bend, OR, and is a complete triathlon teaching and training program. The instruction and training sessions will prepare you for any triathlon from sprint to Ironman distance, and is open for beginners through advanced levels of triathletes. The camp is an excellent way to break into, or advance, your open water swim skills. As a special opportunity we offer the optional competition in the Cascade Lakes Open Water Swim Festival!
Camp format
We offer either a 5-day camp (Wednesday-Sunday) or a 3-day weekend camp (Friday – Sunday). The basic features of these camps are:
- The Wednesday-Sunday camp contains five days filled with swim, bike, run, gym and teaching sessions including video analysis and physiology testing. The exercise physiology testing is done at Central Oregon Community College (includes lactate zones, body comp, and VO2max) along with an individual session designed to help you create a personalized training program.
Note: If you wish to lab test and can arrive early enough on Monday or Tuesday we will be able to do early-bird lab testing - which is the ideal way to do your testing. We can schedule “bonus” swim, bike, run, gym sessions after on those days as well (ask for more info).
- The Friday-Sunday Weekend Camp begins with the incredible 70 mile Cascade Lakes Loop ride Friday morning. Participants in the weekend format are welcome to attend the Thursday evening Masters swim if you arrive in town early enough (see the detailed schedule below).
Both camps end with a Sunday morning choice of swim, bike, or run. Typically we are done by around 10am-12:30pm on Sunday to allow time to travel home for those out of the area.
The main objective of the camp is to teach and improve athletes of ALL abilities in swimming, cycling and running. This is a tremendous opportunity for training and information on specifics such as:
- Open water swimming: training and competition
- Underwater swim video and analysis
- Cycling biomechanics and efficiency
- Measurement of power output and training with power
- Race and training nutrition
- Lactate testing and training
- HR training made simple
- Training & racing specific gear
- Bike handling skills & drills
- Running & drills to improve efficiency
- Transitions
