This triathlon training camp will be coached and instructed by an all-women staff! Carrie Cheatle will be offering individual sports psychology consultations, which you can schedule once you get to camp. For 2010, we have added a Strength Training session, so get your questions ready for Sarah Crane. You're gonna love Sarah like we love Sarah! She has great energy, tons of knowledge and most important knows how to have fun! Welcome, Sarah! Also, for 2010 there are a few changes to the menu with more local items from the nearby farms and bakeries. Yum!
