World Championship ...beginner to elite.
Grasky Endurance Coaching Full Week Triathlon Camps include the
following features:
Personal Attention--A week of attention with a professional coaches
Our
coaches are top age group triathletes and pros and have been on the podium at
Kona, have raced at the Best of the US Championships, have won numerous races
and hold course records, have been first out of the water at Ironman New
Zealand and Ironman Coeur d’Alene; are professional mountain bikers (for
those interested in XTERRA racing) and hold coaching certifications in USA
Triathlon, USA Cycling, and USA Track and Field.
Heart rate zone setup
Heart rate zones are important in training and when utilized properly can lead to dramatic gains in performance. Athletes will perform a field test and the coaches will help set up heart rate zones.
Strength & core training
Coaches will demonstrate strength and core training, a crucial component to successful racing
One-on-one form work on swim, bike, and run with video analysis
Coaches will analyze swim, bike, and run form throughout camps. Underwater swim video analysis will be taken and will be critiqued in the evenings after the MVP awards.
Discussions on race execution, nutrition, and training equipment
Evenings are a great time to discuss concerns every triathlete has, such as mental training, race day execution, nutrition, and equipment. These “lectures” are more of a question/answer session and topics are flexible.
Professional bike fits
Bike fit is as important as training and nutrition. An uncomfortable, or improper fit will impact your training and in turn impact your racing. Brian will analyze camper’s bike fits as needed to ensure they’re “tuned” in correctly.
Great Accommodations
All of our training camps include accommodations in the price, so all campers need to do is show up. Sometimes campers will be in a hotel or resort, sometimes a cabin. Single accommodations are always offered (cabins will always include a shared bath however). We believe location is very important; therefore we always stay where we can ride directly from the hotel or cabin. We try to be close to a pool or open water…usually no more than a 10 minute drive to open water, and trail runs are never far away, sometimes directly out the door of the hotel or cabin. We believe in spending time training, not sitting in the car.
High training volume
Camps are a great time to get in those extra miles that are usually difficult due to life, job, and family commitments. We take advantage of the entire day and pack in a full day of training.
Amazing Goody Bags
I don’t want to say too much, but ask campers from previous camps…the goody bags are awesome and we have a lot of great sponsors who donate goodies.
Sag Support
All of our camps have sag support provided for the longer rides. No need to worry about being stranded with a flat tire or broken chain, or running out of water or nutrition. We have you covered.
Park/Pool Fees
Entry fee costs to mountain and national parks and pools are included in the camp fee.
Nightly awards
Every night, a daily MVP award will be handed out to one camper who went above and beyond throughout the day. Awards always include gift certificates and gear. Beware...the daily MVP is responsible for that day's blog post!
Train with Power
All camps are sponsored by CycleOps, and GEC now has PowerTap wheels available to demo during the camp. Camp attendees can receive special PowerTap pricing if they choose to purchase a PowerTap. Contact Brian early to have yours by the camp. Brian will also send you a list of articles to read and will help you set up power training zones at camp. These camps are a great opportunity to learn how to use power right!Frequently Asked Questions
Are meals included in the price of the camp? Yes and No. During our Tucson Triathlon camps, dinners will be out at authentic locally owned and operated restaurants. Tucson has an amazing cultural history and we’ve found that most campers coming from the north would rather enjoy the authentic Mexican food that Tucson has to offer, therefore, dinners in Tucson are not included in the price of the camp. There are other options and health food stores within walking distance.
Does Tucson have a major airport? Yes, Tucson does have an international airport and accommodates most carriers. It is not generally any advantage to fly into Phoenix.
Is transportation provided from Tucson International Airport to the hotel? Yes; however airport pickup is only provided on the first day of the camp, between the hours of 10am and 5pm. Airport drop-off is only provided the last day of the camp between the hours of 11am and 5pm.
Can I ship my bike to Tucson instead of fly with it? Yes, we have worked a deal through our local sponsoring triathlon shop, Trisports.com. Trisports.com will receive your bike, build and tune it, store your box, and repack and ship after the camp for $100 plus shipping. Contact Trisports.com for details. Tell them you are part of the Grasky Endurance Camp.
Do I need to bring my own workout nutrition? No. Training and recovery nutrition by Hammer Nutrition is provided. If you desire something else, we encourage you to bring it.
Will I need to rent a car? No. All transportation
at the camp site is included. If you would like to have more
flexibility and freedom in your stay, however, then you can, of course,
rent a car.
Are flights included in the cost of the camp? No. Flights are not included in the cost.
