Sprint/Olympic Distance Triathlon Camp with Joe Beer & Team

03 Feb 2011 to 10 Feb 2011

FOR APARTMENTS AT CLUB LA SANTA. Please refer to the pricing tab.

Once again Club La Santa, JBST and SwimForTri link up to provide a structured training week aimed at triathletes working towards various distances. This provides the perfect springboard for their 2011 season.

The sessions are perfect for athletes from intermediate to experienced levels and the aim is to work with each person individually to ensure that they get the correct advice and training.

The camp would not be suitable for absolute beginners who may be used to a lower level of exercise, but athletes from single sports who have a few years endurance experience will find it manageable and great fun.

On top of the programme of training sessions, lectures and social activities (including a great end of camp meal at the La Casa Restaurant) many other activities are available at Club La Santa.

The coaching team has been improved immensely with the addition of two very experienced coaches working alongside Head Coach Joe Beer:

Joe Beer
Joe has been competing in triathlons for 24 years, covering all distances from sprint to Ironman – Including the legendary Hawaii Ironman. He has been coaching and writing in multisport magazines for almost two decades. His book “Need To Know Triathlon” was Published in January 2008 by Harper Collins. He was voted the inaugural 220 Magazine Coach of The Year in 2004 and is a qualified BTA Coach. He has been coaching on camps at Club La Santa for over 10 years.

Dan Bullock
Dan is a swim coach par excellence who knows how to teach triathletes to swim at their best. Dan brings with him state of the art filming equipment and a level of experience which is second to none. He was 220 Coach of the Year 2004 and London Regions Coach of the year 2005.

Phil Price
Phil has been coaching for well over two decades. His local knowledge and wealth of experience adds a dimension of expertise that younger coaches do not possess. He knows his stuff and is very personable.

It is necessary to pre-register as there are only 40 spaces available – this was full by October previously.

The price for this training week is 200 €.

This includes all coached activities on the programme, lectures, dinner in Restaurant La Casa and a special event T-Shirt. For only 24 € per person, companions can join us for the dinner which consists of a 3 course meal and a ½ bottle of house wine.
