Canwi’s Ridge Base Camp
April 27-29
This is a Spring Camp designed to
ramp up your mileage for the upcoming season and give you a
boost for your training. We have battled over the years of
where to have our spring camp and have bounced from Kamloops to
Penticton in previous years. While Kamloops and Penticton have
great training areas we feel the training out here in Maple
Ridge is great and the HUGE bonus is that most of us will not
have to travel too far to get there, we can go home at night and
sleep in our own beds! Plus it keeps costs down and allows for
an added trip up to the Okanagan later in the year. Also for
those lower mainland clients, you can learn where some great
training routes are without traffic. We are keeping the price
of the camp to a minimum, but in doing so there will be no
seminars offered (that is what our Half Ironman and Ironman
Camps are for). This is an opportunity to train with other like
minded people, maybe meet people you can train with the rest of
the year, and get some great long distance easy training in.
Tara and I will be training alongside you during this camp (well
we will be switching off from support vehicle) so there will be
feedback from us during the training sessions and ample time for
you to ask us questions during the weekend. Please note: This
is not a hammer session, this is to get some good long distance
EASY training in. If you are hammering we will tell you to slow
downJ
