Tri Camp

Swim

Camp has optional swims almost every morning, which includes kayak support in the water! Kayaks are stationed at the turn around point of the Lake Placid Ironman Swim course, for athletes wishing to complete one lap, or 1.2 miles of a swim.

One day also features a long swim, where swimmers can complete two laps of the swim course, or 2.4 miles, the full Ironman distance, with kayaks standing by.

Bike

Throughout camp athletes have many opportunities to ride their bike. On organized rides on the Lake Placid Ironman bike loop, sag support is waiting in the Bikeway Van! For one loop of the course, or about 56 miles, the Van is usually positioned at two locations to help mimic rest stops during the event. 

One day also features a long bike, where athletes can complete two loops of the course, or the full 112 miles, with the Bikeway Van ready and willing to assist on their ride!

Run

For the last day of camp, athletes are encouraged to participate in the Lake Placid Marathon as a long run. This even consists of a full and half marathon, athletes training for a full Ironman will run 26.2 miles, where those training for a half will run 13.1. As an added bonus, this is a race! So it helps to mimic any of the race day jitters you could feel on your triathlon race day. Also, having long run take place after days of intense training, helps to mimic fatigue you will feel having completed 2/3 of your endurance race.
