TriDivas Spring Tune Up

I thought I would take some time to recap our fantastic camp held in beautiful Westbank, BC. The feedback from the participants was incredibly positive with a do-again-next-year spirit. Here are a few of the highlights:
1. The naming of the bikes. . . . .we were all inspired by Tash and Emma so everyone named their bike. I found it to be a bonding experience with my ride and ever since the naming I have had even better rides!!!
2. Hills, Hills and more Hills . . . .We had some major climbing days on Knox Mountain and Yellow Lake. I think we came back more confident (right, Ali!)
3. Talk Talk Talk . . . . .We didn't even turn on the tunes for the 10 hour drive because we had so much to talk about (not to mention the raunchy topics!)
4. Food, Wine and Wine. . . .Who knew we were such the foodies? And talk about staying power (talk til 1 AM and still get up and ride!)
5.Some Comments:

What can I say? The weekend was so fantastic. I would have to say that the group of women that came out made the experience what it was.

I liked the idea of the brick workout. I think if we had an extra day doing a quality brick would be good. Maybe have a sleep in, some pancakes, chill out and then do a brick later in the day?

The condo was amazing! So definitely the location and facility were top notch. The dynamic of the participants and their personalities and how they “mix” together is very important – I think this was key in terms of how much I enjoyed the camp.

I would be concerned to put new or beginner triathletes into the mix in terms of the rides we did. BUT – don’t lose the intensity of the workouts – that to me made the weekend awesome.

Well that's all for now. . . .Good Luck to those who are in Coronation this weekend. . .Remember to have fun and finish strong!
