What you can expect at the Okanagan Triathlon Training Camp:
Coaching and Support – experienced coaches who specialize in swim, bike and run. Participants will benefit from guidance on various aspects of triathlon, including swimming technique, cycling skills, running form, and specialized recovery sessions (yoga). All workouts will be supported by the coaches and a vehicle will always be available on the bike and runs, for encouragement, extra nutrition and the ability to add or take off a layer. Swims will have paddle board support.
Focused Training and Skill Improvement – a concentrated and focused period of training allowing participants to immerse themselves without the distractions of daily life. This intensity can lead to quicker skill development and improved fitness. Participants will receive personalized feedback on their technique, leading to more efficient and effective performance. Drills will be utilized within the training.
Community and Motivation Boost – this is an excellent opportunity for triathletes to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the sport and are extremely supportive of one another. Receiving encouragement from coaches and other athletes, and experiencing a new training environment can provide a motivational boost. The collective energy of camp will inspire participants to push their limits.

On the last day of camp I (along with everyone else) was nervous about riding L'Arche Hill. The support and coaching was incredible and I was so surprised and happy that we all did it! Rose encouraged me to go further than I thought possible and Richelle stayed with me on the bike. I felt sp supported and I DID IT!!!!!! You can too! Anyone feel apprehensive about this camp should not worry as this is the most supportive, welcoming camp for all levels.

I did my longest ride ever at the camp! I was so happy with all of the support from the coaches and the other riders. Everyone was so encouraging and I knew I could do it with the support. It isn’t just a training or a coaching camp, it is a self discovery moment, a pushing the limits experience surrounded by the two most amazing women that are obviously passionate about everything they do to make this happen.
