Triathlon Mini-Training Camps.

For:                  Women’s Triathlon Mini Training Camp #1 & #2.

Dates:               Mini Camp #1                       Feb. 04-06    FRI pm to SUN pm.     

                        Mini Camp #2                       Apr. 22-24    FRI pm to SUN pm.

Location:            Chico, California

Target:              Women of all ages and levels interested in getting a jump on the spring triathlon training or want a crash course in triathlon.
That we can train practically year round and that we have all types of training terrain, makes Chico a perfect place for triathlon training of all levels.

Camp #1 focuses on reinforcement of basic functional skills and base training through an increasing volume of easy training throughout the weekend.  We will also have a “Goal Setting Strategies & Aspects” session Saturday evening.

Camp #2 focuses on strength and endurance training and provides participants with an understanding of a more aggressive approach through challenging, race specific training--right before the primary race season starts.  Racing and transition strategies will be included along with open water issues.

Both camps are going to give the participants a “jump” on the competition by focusing on training aspects well ahead of the time most others normally reach these training stages.  The camps are planned in conjunction with local events (such as the Wildflower Century that attracts over 3,500 participants yearly) to add a motivational kick.  We provide home-stays for out-of-town participants.

Grant #2, The Women's Triathlon Group Program.

For:                  Women’s Triathlon Training Group.

Dates:               March 07th to June 9th.

Location:            Chico, California

Target:              Women of all ages and levels interested in triathlon and training.
 

We provide the women with an encouraging and supportive environment where they can stay physically fit while training with other.  We have weekly group training session and each participant get personalized workouts along with socials (women put a lot more emphasis on the social than on the competitive aspects).  The program if geared around two “goal events,” one local—which is put on by the women in the group—and on out of town.  Both events are short, low-key events introducing women to the sport.
