OSB St Pete Beach Training Camp - Feb 29-March 4, 2012

Join us at the beach for a great training vacation! Bring the family and get bonus points! St Pete Beach and the surrounding areas have something for everyone. We will be hosting a long distance focused training camp based out of the St Pete Beach area. In 2012 we're offering a five-day version (Wednesday - Sunday).

We'll be training approximately 4-5 hours each day.

Due to additions to the Gaal family in December, 2011, and high demand among One Step Beyond coached athletes, we are only opening a handful (re: max 4) spots to non-coached athletes / non-return-campers in 2012. You will be part of a crew of folks who mostly know one another personally or anecdotally via their coaches. We will be keeping the format of the camp informal, with just a couple presentations and no swim filming. The bonus: your cost will only be the room rate + $300 surcharge for food, coaching, and organization (less than a 'regular' camp).

Time/fitness requirements: Due to the nature of the camp we require you to have met one of these criteria in order to attend: sub-15 hour Ironman, sub-7 hour half-Ironman, or sub-3 hour olympic distance triathlon. This isn't a beginner camp.

Accomodations: We are running the camp out of a 15-room hotel on the water in St Pete Beach. We have reserved 6 rooms with various configurations and there are a few more open at this hotel or an adjacent hotel.

Cost:
- TBD room rate (about $350 if you share a room / more like $750 if you want your own room) + $300 for meals, coaching, and organization.

Maximum 16 athletes.

What is included: Your coaches, essentially all meals (just breakfast + quick lunch on Sunday), entry into any training venues or additional races, a Powerstroke DVD, and various camp goodies.

What is not included: car rentals, restaurant meals, airport pickup or drop-off, and airfare.

Planned itinerary:
2.28 Tuesday night - arrival at hotel, dinner for those who are in time.
2.29 Wednesday - long ride, midday swim, short evening run.
3.1 Thursday - long run, open water swim.
3.2 Friday - long ride + short brick run, midday swim.
3.3 Saturday - Gasparilla 15k or 5k, midday open water swim
3.4 Sunday - easy mid-distance ride, hotel check-out and camp ends.

Full refunds minus a 5% processing fee are available until the camp starts, if you no show after that we will still reimburse you but give you some grief about it.

Contact Coach Marty to mail in a check to reserve your spot. Thanks!
