2012 IMTX Long Course Tri Camp

Are you racing Ironman^tm Texas 2012?  Or maybe you'll be signing up in '12 and racing in '13? Then this camp is for you!

 

MPI will host a triathlon camp aimed at preparing athletes for Ironman^tm Texas on May 19th, 2012.  The focus of the camp will be to prepare athletes for the swim, bike and run on the actual course in Woodlands, TX. The camp takes place on Friday, April 13th - Sunday, April 15th at the beautiful Host Hotel, The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center.  This is where Ironman^tm Texas will have all it's events including Welcome Dinner and Awards Ceremony!

 

During this multi-day camp, MPI offers its expertise on long-distance racing, executing your plan and learning how to race on these course conditions. The athletes should expect to see the entire swim (Unknown if we're able to swim this weekend at the lake at this time, but we will have access to either another lake or pool), bike and run course as well as to actually train on most portions of the course (including the entire bike course if so desired).  Fully supported and built for all levels, this camp will be a wonderful weekend of training ON THE RACE COURSE!
