NEW Learn to Tri Smarter Triathlon Camp with Joe Beer & Team

23 Sep 2010 to 30 Sep 2010

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

Aimed at beginners and intermediate level triathletes looking to find clear, concise and helpful coaching. This provides the perfect jump up the learning curve in a sport many take 5 years or more to be successful.

This is the camp to understand how to plan a winters training and be ready for next spring – from swimming technique and bike fit to run training and nutrition.

The sessions are perfect for athletes from beginner to intermediate levels and the aim is to mix practical workouts with talks and workshops. Athletes from single sports who have a few years endurance experience will find it manageable and great fun. The camp would not be suitable for very high level or experienced triathletes.

The Coaches

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

Joe has been competing in multipart events for 25 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 entry-level 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 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.
