Camp Details:

 

Counterpart Coaching, Gordo Byrn, Hammer Nutrition and Pro Cyclist Erik Saunders have teamed up for Part Two of the Palm Springs IM Clinic March 13 - 19. This is an affordable all inclusive seven day/six night camp that begins Sunday afternoon in Palm Springs and ends Saturday in Oceanside with the Ralph's 1/2 Ironman Taper Interrupted style. It's the perfect spring training camp for anyone doing a full or half Ironman early in the season or for anyone who wants a structured camp to jumpstart their training.

 

Most of the training will take place in the scenic Joshua Tree National Park with climbs up to 5100ft on freshly paved roads with no traffic. Swim sessions with be in the 50 meter pool on the 29 Palms Marine Base or at the 25 yrd pool in Palm Springs. Weather permitting we'll climb the backside of Big Bear Mountain. Over the course of the camp athletes will ride 17hr, run 5 hrs and swim 18k (if you're doing Ralph's it's a little bit more than that).   

 

Lectures and discussions during the camp will include: Race day execution, Nutrition and the psychology of racing.
