by hillarybiscay

Join the GCM and me in Tucson for a four-day smashfest weekend in March! Come take advantage of Tucson’s beautiful weather, legendary mountains and trails for an epic training weekend here in the desert!

Tucson Training Camp, March 8-12, 2012

Camp includes:

Challenging training sessions—swim, bike, and run—alongside pros Hillary Biscay and Maik Twelsiek

SAG support for long rides and pace groups to accommodate intermediate through advanced-level athletes

Individualized stroke instruction in the pool during swim workouts

Swag, courtesy of our sponsors

Two group meals

Ask the Pros Q&A roundtable discussion

This is a training-focused camp, rather than a skills-focused camp, although we will certainly have an eye on your skills and give you as much feedback as we can during training sessions.

Thursday afternoon/ evening: Group welcome dinner and run

Friday: Shootout loop/ Madeira Canyon ride (5-6 hours) and afternoon swim workout

Price: $750 per person/ $680 for Biscay Training athletes. A $250 non-refundable deposit confirms your spot in the camp, and the balance is due by February 1, 2012.

Price does not include accommodation, but we have arranged a very reasonable group rate at a hotel on the west side of town, where the camp will be based.

Email us here with questions or to register.

Space is limited; sign up early to guarantee your spot!

I might sponsor a “Drink at the JW Marriott Outdoor Fire Pit” camp for any trailing spouses or friends. Space is not limited.
