Spring Camp -- classroom topics   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #456 of 524 |
Hello,
with the camp fast approaching, I wanted to nail down a bit more about what will be covered in the camp.  As I'm sure you've seen, triathlon is a huge topic.  We won't be able to cover everything there is in just a few hours.  If we plan well, though, we can get through most or all of what you really need.  So, below are a few topics that generally seem to be worth including, and a a second list of ones that may or may not be of interest.  Absolutely nothing (other than the date) is set in stone at this point, so if there's something you'd like to cover (or something that you know more than enough about), please speak up.

Popular topics:
Transitions
Rules that will bite you if you don't know them (drafting/position, equipment restrictions, wetsuits, procedures)
Basic bike maintenance (change a flat, clean a chain, etc.)
Building/using a training plan
Training plan specifics & periodization
Race day logistics & checklists

Other topics that may be interesting:
Season planning
Race-day nutrition
Equipment (and there can be oh-so-much triathlon equipment)
Training information resources
Finding events

This is by no means a complete list.  A few other ideas that spring to mind are multi-year planning (i.e. when am I ready for an Ironman), mental preparation, race-day etiquette, bike fit, and leg-shaving 101 (just for the guys, presumably).  The above lists are simply things that people tend to find valuable.  If you already have any or all of those topics under control, suggest some others (and let me know -- we may want you to teach).  If any of them jump out as something you've really been wondering about, let me know so I can try to be sure it's included, or so I can arrange for some one-on-one/small group attention for you.

Ultimately, the camp is most successful if it's highly interactive, and if that interation starts now.  Let us know what you'd like to learn so we can put on a great show for you.

Hi Rich, I could do the same classroom topics as last year. I have stuff written on these topics already. I am assuming that the instructors do not have to...

You're correct, Dan. If you're an instructor, your entry is free. It'd be great to have you cover the same stuff. Thanks!...
