ARIZONA TRIATHLON TRAINING CAMP
POSTPONED UNTIL 2022
Get your season jump-started with a week of endurance training in the beautiful Oro Valley, Arizona in the backdrop of the Santa Catalina Mountain. The camp features both an “A” and “B” group for both the very experienced (aka fast) and less experienced (aka slower) athletes. Both groups will be led by veteran triathletes with many years of training experience.
This camp will provide you all with a chance to push your limits in both aerobic base and strength building. THIS IS A TRAINING CAMP – IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A COACHING CAMP THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. Your training at this camp will be enhanced by frequency, the ability to do over distance rides and runs on challenging and different terrain as well as the ability to rest and practice proper recovery.
Remember, RECOVERY IS KEY! To get the most out of the camp it is imperative that the extra work load and training is balanced with proper recovery, nutrition and rest. Enjoy your downtime from training while you are at the camp, but remember, you get stronger when you are resting properly. You will leave tired, but you will also leave stronger, both mentally and physically!

ABOUT THE VENUE
Oro Valley
In the shadow of Pusch Ridge, the western end of the Santa Catalina Mountains, with the Tortolita mountains in the distance to the north and views of the Tucson skyline to the south, Oro Valley has a character and culture of its own, with all the conveniences of the bigger city nearby.
Less than half an hour from downtown Tucson up Oracle Road (State Route 77), Oro Valley was incorporated in 1974 and has a population just under 40,000. Its “Valley of Gold” name harkens back to a time when the area drew prospectors eager to find their fortune.
Though the rumors that the area was rich with gold proved false, Oro Valley is rich in natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and a small-town, family-friendly culture that’s landed it on several “best place to live” lists in recent years.
Among other highlights, Oro Valley is home to Tohono Chul Park, the El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort, and a fantastic Aquatic Center if you’re looking to get wet!
