Skills Camp Greenville SC
Quick Facts
Location: Greenville, SC
Type of camp: All level, skill-focused triathlon camp
Length of camp: 4.5 days
Dates: March 27-March 31
In case you haven't heard, we have a little gem of a triathlon training playground here in Greenville. You’ll be delighted to know that the Greenville community embraces cycling. People love riding bikes in and around Greenville. As if our award winning downtown Greenville wasn't enough, we have breathtaking mountain views, lots of farm-to-table restaurants and very friendly people.
Our All-Levels Skills Camp is centered around your triathlon skills. As an early season triathlon camp, our goal is to provide you with workouts that will require you to improve upon or learn new skills that will help you train and race better. While there will be plenty of training to give you a little fitness boost, you will leave camp with improved confidence so that you can feel comfortable and safe on race day. We plan to break your bad habits and integrate new skills into your training execution in order to reduce risk for injury/health issues, to improve your fitness and to help you feel more race-ready for your upcoming triathlon events.
From our experience in working with athletes of all levels, every triathlete has room for improvement when it comes to swim, bike, run skills.
While this is an all-level, skills triathlon camp, we expect that all campers are comfortable riding a bike in a new environment, in a group setting and have endurance to comfortably ride for 2+ hours on rolling terrain. This is not a newbie camp.

FAQS
When should I plan to arrive/depart?
We suggest to book your travel so that you arrive early afternoon on March 27th, 2019. We suggest to depart on Sunday late afternoon March 31st or enjoy an extra evening/day in Greenville and leave on Monday April 1st.
How should I get my bike to camp?
If you are not planning to drive with your bike, we suggest to either fly with your bike or use Bike Flights to ship your bike. If you are considering using Bike Flights, please contact us after you reserve your spot at camp for more details.
If you are flying with your bike (or shipping your bike), you do not need to bring your bike pump as we will have pumps available.
What if I get injured before the camp but I’ve already registered?
Immediately contact us in the case of an injury. We treat injuries and sicknesses on a case-by-case basis regarding a full refund. If you still plan on attending camp with a recent injury, we will do our best to modify workouts so that you can get the most out of your camp experience.
How do I know if I am fit enough for this camp?
This is a skill specific camp designed to help you train and race better throughout the season. You do not have to come to camp in peak race shape but you do need to arrive with endurance to ride your bike comfortably for 2+ hours on rolling terrain. You should also feel comfortable riding in a group environment, in a new environment. We cater to all swim/run fitness levels but we expect you to arrive to camp with a solid baseline of fitness.
I am not a Trimarni coaching athlete, can I still attend?
Absolutely! We would love to have you at camp.
