Over 30 athletes and their families gathered at Camp Nan-Ke-Rafe over the Father’s Day weekend to train, learn, relax and race at the 2010 Cape Cod Triathlon Team Training Camp. Nestled at the back of Nickerson State Park, Dream Day on Cape Cod’s wonderful camp provided athletes with immediate access to ponds, roads and trails for working on technique and skills. Expert coaches Craig Lewin (Endurance Swimming), Ali Winslow (Boston Performance Coaching) and Geof Newton (Athlete’s Companion) presented seminars and guided athletes through workshops on all aspects of triathlon. And after a day packed with workouts (and a peaceful night’s sleep deep in the Nickerson woods), the participants got to put it all together at Long Pond Practice Triathlon 2. There is nothing better to jumpstart your racing season than a spring boot camp so be sure to pencil this in to your 2011 calendar!

It’s almost here – the 2nd Annual Cape Cod Triathlon Team Training Camp opens Friday and with almost 30 athletes already registered, this will be one serious training weekend that you won’t want to miss. And even if you’re a single-sport fanatic, there’ll be plenty to learn from our coaches from Boston Performance Coaching, Endurance Swimming and Athlete’s Companion. Plus, there’ll be lots of time to unwind as we setup camp in the back reaches of Nickerson State Park. Register now for a day or the whole weekend and come get lost in the woods! [More Information]

Join us at Long Pond in Brewster to practice your triathlon. A pond swim, 10 mile bike, and 3.6 mile run on the Rail Trail will get you ready for that upcoming sprint, whether it’s TimeOut! Productions Sprint 1 in Hyannis next weekend or elsewhere. But don’t feel constrained by what we’ve setup. Use this event to practice your transitions, do a weak leg over and over, or double the legs for an Olympic distance training race. Start time is 8:00AM and we request that all participants become members of the Cape Cod Athletic Club. For more information, read this flyer and check out the race course.
