Multisport: 2006 Personal Best Florida Warm Weather Training Camps

March 11th - 18th or 19th And April 15th - 22nd or 23rd

The camp will be focused between Clermont Florida's National Training Centre (training) and the Houses at Louisa State Park (March Camp) and Vacation Village (April Camp). Elite international coaches and athletes will be in attendance to support your development of training skills, testing and warm weather training. Whether you are coming to learn skills, prepare for a major 2006 race or suntan with a little training we have something for you in 2006.

March 11-18th/19th Louisa State Park Houses: Built in just the last 12 months, these brand new 2 bedroom houses come completely stocked kitchens and bedrooms. Each house has 2 bedrooms (one room with 2 single beds), one room with a queen bed and a pull-out sleeper couch. These houses were built right on Louisa State Park to accommodate training camps and groups. With 10km of fantastic paved roads within the park and nearly 20km of running trails the State Park Houses are perfect for training. Please note that the house is cleaned at the beginning and end of the stay but not daily during the stay. There are stores within 5km of the location. Fill your own house or we can find your room-mates to keep the prices down.

April 15-22nd/23rd Vacation Village Houses: Vacation Village is a clean, quiet series of fully stocked 1-3 bedroom houses in a retirement settlement 8km south of Clermont Florida. Each house is completely stocked with a full kitchen and bedroom linens. Vacation village is 3km from Louisa State Park (for some of our training) and 7km from the pool. There are stores within 2km of the location. Fill your own house or we can find roommates to keep the cost down.

National Training Centre (NTC): The NTC is a world class training facility. Included is a 8 lane 50m outdoor heated swimming pool, a 400m outdoor track, a 8000 sqf fitness centre and a physio/massage clinic. Clermont has fantastic quiet, hilly roads to ride and train on. Surrounding Clermont are two lakes which are perfect for open water swimming. Lake Louisa State Park is a national park located 5km from Vacation Village. The park is perfect for quiet riding and running. Located 1km run from Vacation Village is a beautiful 8-15km orange grove which the camp uses for long, quiet runs.

Daily Training: Elite coaches will run daily swim-bike and run workouts. Athletes have the option of choosing shorter technical workouts, or longer fitness workouts in each sport. Camp Directors will ensure that an appropriate personalized program is developed to accommodate your 2006 racing goals . Elite coaches will be available to do small group seminars and training discussions. Some campers may choose to take a day or two off training to site-see, relax, play golf, or shop. Camp workouts will occur each day (it is the complete option of the campers to choose their needs each day).

Van Option: Some campers will choose to rent a car to have more flexibility during their camp stay. Some people will drive down to Florida on their own. The balance of the campers will need van support.

Camp entries have been set to allow you to have van support or to be responsible for your own transportation.

Airport Pickup: Campers without a car can get airport pickup, but it must occur within the fixed group pickup and drop off times. Those who do not arrive and depart during those times will need to hire a taxi at your own expense (roughly $60.00 from the airport to the accommodations).

Bike Transportation: We are working on an option to take bikes to Florida for a fee. If you are interested please let us know.

Camp Goals: Campers come to our Personal Best warm weather camps for 3 reasons. A) To increase skills. B) To increase base fitness. C) Vacation / warm weather training. Each participant needs to let the camp staff know your specific needs. It could include training for a specific race(s) or simply to learn more skills. Every camp has a wide range of athletes in each category.
