The Training Camp Experience

8/4/2015

4 weeks after joining squad dezire, I was heading out to Denia, Spain for my first triathlon training camp joined by Kiera Tippet coached by
Perry Agass. With weather forecast for 25-30°c for the whole week it was looking to be a good week.

SWIM
I won't bore you with details but we had some good swim sessions, the most memerable being 2x 10x100 off 1:35 and 3x400 best effort. which were tough but that's triathlon ey :)

BIKE
In total we cycled 270  miles in the week and were on the bike for about 18 hours. Some decent volume in my opinion (although I am sure Chris Froome might say otherwise!) Anyway the cycling consisted of a mixture of TT efforts, mountain climb efforts, easy recovery rides, long steady rides. we basically did it all whilst fighting dehydration in the scorching heat which at times proved difficult. you never know you are dehydrated until it is too late!

RUN
At the end of the day of swimming and running we also did a few good high intensity running sessions. 6x2 mins @ 5:00m/mi or 12x 1 min @ 4:40m/mi.

Reflecting on the week I have no idea how I survived: in a flat on my own in a foreign country cooking for myself and doing washing for myself, who needs parents? although I did find myself in the police station.. twice, but that's another story.
So overall a great week of training and I loved every minute. Thanks again Perry, Trish and Kiera for an enjoyable time and let's hope we can do it again next year!
