2024 Trimarni camps - registration open

We are extremely passionate about our training camps. We enjoy planning every detail of our camp itineraries so you can make the most out of your entire camp experience.  Since our very first group training camp in Clermont, Florida in March 2014, our focus has remained the same. Our mission is to provide you with an unforgettable camp experience, empowering you to stretch your athletic limits while providing you with a great amount of education and skill focus to help you become a better athlete. When you participate in a Trimarni camp, you will learn new skills and training techniques (and break some old bad habits) to ensure that you can train effectively in your home environment, after your time at camp has concluded. As you travel to a beautiful training location, surrounded by like-minded triathletes, you will leave your stressful and busy life behind you. We want to take care of everything for you so that all you have to do is book your travel. Your camp investment will give you the unique opportunity to train in a group format, while gifting yourself great sleep. You will eat well, fuel smart and receive a lot of motivation and inspiration from your fellow campers. 2024 TRIMARNI CAMPS Our Early Season triathlon camp in April caters to all fitness abilities.  This camp is designed to help you improve your swim, bike, run skills as you prepare for your first race of the season. This camp will help you build confidence to help you become a more well-rounded triathlete. As with all our camps, this early season camp will have a heavy emphasis on swimming technique and cycling, specifically skills and terrain management. To meet the criteria for this camp, you should have enough endurance to ride your bike for at least 2 hours on rolling terrain, you can train for at least 3 hours a day (total) for the duration of your camp (two or three workouts a day) and should arrive to camp with at least 6 months of consistent training (and fitness) to get the most out of this camp. Your health is important to us, thus the criteria. We never want any athlete to feel left out so if you feel this camp is not for you, we do offer private camps to meet your individual needs. Please reach out and we can discuss some options for you. Our Long Distance triathlon camp in July is designed for athletes who are preparing for an endurance or ultra endurance triathlon and desire to gain bike confidence, fitness and skills. Expect to do a lot of cycling. To meet the criteria for this camp, we ask that you arrive to this camp with great fitness and endurance to absorb an intentional overload of training (the majority of the volume will come from cycling). You should feel comfortable riding in a group, biking for at least 4 hours on hilly terrain and be able to train for 4+ hours a day. Your health and safety is important to us as we stretch your comfort zone, discover your strengths, improve your skills and help you prepare for your upcoming event. We never want any athlete to feel left out so if you feel this camp is not for you, we do offer private camps for to meet your individual needs. Please reach out and we can discuss some options for you. And for 2024...we are offering a gravel skills camp in March AND an off-road triathlon skills camp in April.  The goals of the Gravel and Off Road Triathlon camps are to help you safely and confidently ride off-road by teaching you correct bike handling skills and how to correctly navigate the rugged road under your tires. Our off-road skills camps are open to all fitness levels, however we do ask that you have enough endurance and fitness to comfortably ride for 3 hours. We held a small gravel camp last year and it was well received. The camps are designed to help you work on your off-road climbing, descending, body position, cornering, body position and bike handling skills. To ensure that you can apply your skills to real-world situations, we are combining the gravel camp with the Southeast Gravel Grinder and we are combining the off-road triathlon camp with the Whitewater off-road triathlon. Within each camp, we will take you to specific features of the coures to help you work on your bike handling skills so that you can leave camp with improved confidence, skills and safety while riding your bike on different types of terrain. You will also learn about tire choice, optimal tire pressure and how to care for your gravel and mountain bike. Both camps will include optional run workouts.  To learn more about our camps and to register, click HERE.

Trimarni 3-day Advanced camp recap

Although our recent camp experience felt a little different with our new COVID-19 guidelines in place, the camp focus remained the same. With every Trimarni camp, we want to help our athletes stretch their comfort zone, practice new skills, improve terrain management, try new things, master sport nutrition, feel challenged and of course, have fun. With each camp being all about our campers, we have many opportunities to help our athletes improve their weaknesses and strengthen their strengths. Although every athlete loves to accumulate miles at a training camp, we feel it would be a diservice to our campers to only prescribe workouts. Instead, we have a tentative schedule as to what we will accomplish each day (and within each workout) but with education as a key component of our camps, we always adjust as we go along to ensure that each camper gets the most out of his/her Trimarni camp experience. 

Here's what our five advanced campers accomplished throughout their 3-day training camp: 

Monday
AM: 75-minute open water swim workout at Lake Jocassee followed by a 65 minute hilly run workout. 
PM: 2:30 bike workout (working on terrain management on a 4.5 mile loop that included a mix of descends, cornering, rolling hills, false flats and climbing. Total elevation gain throughout the ride ~2200 feet)

Tuesday
AM: 90-minute pool swim workout at the Westside aquatic center. 
Late morning: 4:10 bike (~4000 feet elevation gain) followed by a 30-minute run. 

Wednesday 
AM: 3-hour bike (~3000 feet elevation gain) with two 4.2 mile climbs/descends. Started at Tuxedo Park in NC. 
Followed by a 85-minute run workout on a packed gravel trail on Lake Summit road. 

Our campers finished camp feeling very accomplished and slightly (but not overly) exhausted. In total, our campers completed 9.5 hours of biking, almost 3 hours of swimming and almost 3 hours of running. A total of almost 16 hours of training (in 90+ degree temps) over 72 hours.

As it relates to training, we are still mindful not to overload our athletes as we don't want their immune systems to get taxed with a virus spreading quickly among the population. Although our campers completed a lot of training volume over 3 days, no workout was "too hard" for our athletes. More so, our athletes did an excellent job focusing on doing the small things well like listening to the body, fueling/hydrating smart and maximizing recovery between sessions.

While they were each challenged and tested, we designed the workouts so that everyone could perform well based on their current level of fitness. I prescribed fueling/hydration recommendations for every workout so our athletes were very prepared and well-fueled and hydrated for every session. We also carefully planned out each training session so that there were opportunities to refill bottles/nutrition to ensure that no athlete would have their health or performance compromised by underfueling/hydrating. 

In no particular order, here are some pictures from our recent 3-day Advanced Camp.

Exciting news for Trimarni...Coming soon!

How true is this?

To devote so much time, energy, money and effort to one goal and to finally have it pay off.

What a great feeling!

I realize that not every athlete has the race of his/her life all the time and sometimes we have a bad race and we just have to let it go.  But we must remember that hard work goes somewhere. It may not be immediately seen but the hard work is not without a purpose. Maybe it doesn't show on a piece of paper that the world sees but within yourself you have become a better, stronger and smarter person and athlete.

We are currently working on our 2015 racing schedule which I will share with the world, as I did last this past season. But in the mean time, I want to share some exciting new things that will be happening with Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition for 2015. 

COACHING

We are really excited about our new coaching services for 2015. We will have 3 different services to offer athletes in addition to pre-built plans. Stay tuned, we plan on sharing these via our website in the next week or two.

SPORT NUTRITION

I love seeking out the best ways to help athletes with my nutrition services. I continue to tweak my services based on what I feel athletes need but also based on my ongoing learning in the field of sport nutrition relating to endurance sports and what will be most practical and effective.

CAMPS

We decided to postpone our October Greenville camp until June. The best thing we can offer campers aside from great swag and lots of learning, is the opportunity to be around other like-minded individuals. We feel June is a great time for athletes who are gearing up for a summer/fall half or full Ironman to come to our endurance focused camp.
We also plan to have this camp (tentatively) on June 17th - 21st or on the 24th - 29th.
We are also planning a spring camp for triathletes of all levels on March 18th - 22nd, in Clermont FL. We will swim at the National Training Center and our plan is to finish the camp

with the Clermont Olympic distance triathlon!

EXTRA

We also plan to have several camps and clinics (in and out of Greenville) so if you are interested in a specific type of clinic for you or your training club/group, just send us an email.

Trimarni gear is available at the Trimarni store and we just got water bottles which will be posted soon!

Karel and I will be racing and spectating at a few races in 2015. I will announce our race schedule as well as the key Trimarni races (which will have a pronounce Trimarni athlete turn-out) for 2015.

Since Karel and I will be finishing our season in October as we race the 2015 Ironman World Championships, and we love sharing our journey with others, stay tuned for lots of updates via social media/blog on our prep for Kona 2015!

We are really excited to be working with some great companies in 2015 and I hope to provide the Trimarni athletes/followers with some discounts in 2015. 

Campy is really excited about his 2015 season. He will be 7 years old in a few weeks and his life gets better and better every year!

My mom is moving to Greenville in two weeks - yippee!! We will ALL be together here in Greenville (my dad would be so happy).

As always, thanks for your Trimarni support. We absolutely love what we get to do to help athletes reach health and performance goals.

Who's excited about 2015????

WE ARE!!!!
