These will be informal (but well-prepared), interactive "classes" designed to empower you to become a better triathlete on your own when you resume training at home. Examples of topics are: planning and analysing training, planning and executing in races, nutrition, strength training, technique, equipment, etc. REGISTRATION Reply to this email now to secure 1 of 4 available slots for this exclusive camp.
