Ful-On Tri Training Camp 2009
This year Ful-On Tri will travel to Club Pollentia, Mallorca from Friday 27th March - Friday 3rd April 2009 for Richard Hobson’s TriLiving Training Camp specifically tailored for our club.
Club Pollentia
Club Pollentia is located on the north coast of Mallorca in the beautiful bay of Pollensa. The resort features 3 restaurants; 4 bars; a health club with fitness centre (gym, saunas, turkish bath); health & beauty centre (treatments & massage); leisure pool, 6-lane 25m pool, covered heated pool with 2 jacuzzis; 3 shops; kids club; tennis, squash & volley ball courts; petanque area; putting green; archery & rifle range; various water sports and a bicycle centre. If you don’t know this resort, have a look at www.clubpollentia.com.
The location is ideal for long bike rides in the surrounding hills where road surfaces are exceptional. Swim sessions will take place in the outdoor 25m pool, plus open water swimming from the beach.
Our TriLiving Training Camp
Our TriLiving Training Camp is being tailor-made for our club by Richard Hobson. The aim is to provide quality coached training sessions for all levels of athlete. The venue lends itself to a relaxed atmosphere since everything is on offer from one location, so there is no time wasted travelling to sessions which means more time to relax and sit by the pool!
Richard Hobson is passionate about the sport of triathlon, having spent 10 years as a pro, 5 times National Champion, Olympic coach to 2 athletes, former performance coach for the BTF & head coach at Bath Triathlon Performance Centre, and age group coach to European and World Age Group qualifiers. He knows what it takes to succeed, whether you are a beginner, an elite performer, doing it for fun, or you want to be the next Olympic Champion; the knowledge and experience to help will be there. For more information about TriLiving, visit: www.triliving.co.uk.
The swim sessions will include a mixture of technique coaching and open water swimming. Bike rides will be self-led by club coaches and split by ability groupings. These will include hill work, long rides and brick training sessions. And there will be a number of running options on offer.
There will also be evening lectures on offer, covering swim technique and training smarter. We'll finish the week off with a group meal and no doubt some dodgy dancing will be thrown in for good measure.
The Cost
Club Pollentia offers half board accommodation and the buffet is renowned for its bountiful supply of great food. The cost is based on twin share rooms. The village room (left) is best for twin occupancy and features larger rooms, large patio/balcony, two beds and bed settee. The Maris room (right) is best for single occupancy, as the rooms are smaller and have a small balcony, big enough for a bike box and bike, but a push for two. We are currently holding accommodation for 40 people. The price includes local transfer from Palma airport to the resort (however, the price will be greater if individual transfers are required). For those booking after the deposit deadline, there may be a slight variation in price according to the accommodation available.
