Pyrenean Triathlon CAMP
one week triathlon holiday
The main focus of our Tri Camps is to have fun. The camps are designed to allow all abilities to participate without interfering with anyones training expectations. We mix all three disciplines into each day either swimming in the indoor / outdoor pools or the nearby lakes. Running on the marked trail routes surrounding the centre and riding in one of the most fantastic cycling regions in the world.
The groups are made up of single athletes, couples and groups of friends. By the end of the first day everyone has gelled together and the training flows perfectly. We hold fun competitions during the week to test yourself and to see how you fair against others on your camp or previous camps but again this is fun so there is absolutely no pressure from anyone.
The mountains make this camp so different - you will be cycling on the same roads as the iconic cyclists have done before and their names can still be seen painted across the tarmac. Training in the Pyrenees - it is unforgettable!

Itinerary - Example
Airport Transfer from Toulouse
We will pick you up from Toulouse airport in the morning and transfer you back to our centre in Luscan. After building the bikes we will go for a short spin out on the flat rolling country side of the Comminges – the ride is at a very easy pace to loosen up the legs and test out the bikes and to get used to each other in the group.
Sunday
Early bird run this morning following our 6 km trail route. Once you know the course you can run as fast as you like or try the 10 km route.
After breakfast we will head out for a gentle warm up before trying out the fun time trial on our local Col. It is short and not too steep at all so you can experience "My first Col" at your own pace.
In the afternoon we will head out to the lake for some open water practice. (bring along your wetsuit)
Monday
A trip to the 25m pool before breakfast for a short session. If you want your stroke checked out then just ask.
We then head out for a slightly longer ride taking in the fantastic scenery of the Pyrenees. Rides normally break up into groups of differing ability so again it is ridden at your own pace.
Short transition run of your choice afterwards.
Tuesday
Similar to yesterday we will hit either the pool or the lake for an early morning swim.
After breakfast some transition training with a multiple mini brick session. In the afternoon we will take in a more gentle ride today over rolling countryside but there is always a small col lurking somewhere.
Wednesday - Fun Tri
Today is a rest day but we do have our small fun tri that you can have a go at. Held down at the lake this small sprint tri is a great way of practicing all of your transitions without the pressure of race day.
Thursday - Big Bike Day
It is Big Col day today. No need to worry though as the support vehicle is not far behind.
Transition run afterwards or just relax out on the terrace.
Friday
Final swim session of the week. Some fun relays to end of a great week.
We will head out after breakfast for a gentle warm up before heading back to the Col des Ares to take on the Time Trial - this time with all your climbing experience. Lunch at the top so last one up...!!
Short run afterwards before the horrid task of packing up your bikes before we go out to a restaurant for the final meal of the week together.
Saturday - Airport Transfer
After breakfast we will head out to Toulouse airport in plenty of time to catch the morning flights.
