Hi! I know most of you are in the middle of the 2008 race season, but
it's never too early to think about the 2009 season and what your
goals may be for next year. I know there are lots of us considering an
Ironman in '09.
As most of you know, Charlie Patten's company Trakkers (www.trak-
kers.com) sponsors four time Ironman Champion Heather Gollnick (http://
www.ironedgecoaching.com/#/aboutus).
Heather Gollnick is planning to conduct a three day triathlon training
camp in March. Tentatively, the dates would be March 5-8, 2009 in
Sarasota, FL. (There is a possibility of the camp ending with an
olympic distance race on the 8th). The cost of the camp is
approximately $799 for the training. The camp is for ALL level of
athletes. The participants will participate in daily swim, bike and
run sessions. The fee includes video analysis of your swim and run.
It also includes hands on clinics for technical bike skills, run
drills, open water ocean swimming along with informative lectures
including training periodization, nutrition, strength and conditioning
and mental preparation skills. And, for the important part....there
will be a camp party. Now, I know I have your attention. The fee does
not include airfare or room, but does include some food. The $799
price quote is a ballpark for the actual training you'd receive.
Heather Gollnick and Trakkers is very interested in conducting a camp
of this nature. To move forward, we'd like to have some idea of the
level of interest from people like you. If this is something you are
interested in, could you please email me and let me know your level of
interest. In order to secure the tri camp and the dates, we'd like to
have at least 8-10 people that we know would be VERY interested in
participating. Once we have some idea of the interest level we will
come back to you with more specifics re: the camp. Ideally, we'd want
folks to commit by the end of September to make the arrangements.
Please let me know your thoughts and level of interest.
Thanks.
Vanessa (and Charlie) :-)
