Triathlon camps and how to chose one.
As triathletes we are often looked at as slightly mad by those who aren't – questions like “you do what?” and “for how long?” - often followed by “why?” The last being an excellent question and one that is worth considering yourself. However for now – let's think about what it's like to be an athlete often confronted with these questions with no-one nearby offering support.

“Training Camp!” what was I thinking?
What to expect! You did it, instead of going on a ‘typical’ holiday you decided to do something healthier and signed yourself up for a week of triathlon training. Some of your friends think you are totally mad and wonder why you don’t want to simply laze on a beach somewhere, others think it is an interesting idea and those who are into sport themselves think it is awesome! It is awesome and you’ll love it.
