**NEW** January Volume Camp in Clermont, FL [1/15/15 to 1/19/15]
Folks -
Very pleased to announce a brand new training camp venture for 2015. I am calling it the January Volume Camp (1/15 to 1/19) -- we'll be on a mission to break the cold weather blues and build some serious swim bike and run fitness.
Why A January Volume Camp?
#1 -- It will give you an early season means of building critical volume. Most of us don't get to the volume "pop" part of our year until the weather turns around, leaving usually six to nine months between these efforts. This camp will be a chance to speed up that cycle, which is perfect for those of you in Year Two and Three of our Three Year Plan.
#2 -- This is good "catch-all" camp for early season races that don't usually receive any training camp attention -- from Oceanside and St. Croix all the way to New Zealand, Texas and even Brazil.
#3 -- Perhaps most important of all, it will help you stay sane in another ridiculously long winter of training. If thinking about the winter of 2014 still makes you curl up in a ball and shake out of fear, then this camp could be for you.
Logistics are listed online here, but here are the basics. The camp is a four day weekend including Martin Luther King, so you really only need to take one day off of work to sneak away! We can work with your Triathlon Season Roadmap (TSR) to make sure your year still works, don't worry.
Camp Training Targets:
Swim: ~ 10,000 yards.
Bike: ~ 230 miles.
Run: ~ 21 miles.

Cool! How does this work for folks in the OS which is "anti-volume"? LOL
And with it being January, and doing a "Horribly Hilly 100", it looks like some people (ie ME) might need to train for this camp. Will lower volume options be available as well? If not, as the name "VOLUME Camp" implies, that's fine. Just thought I'd ask cuz I know I'd love to get the rock outta New England in January!
any possibility of renting a bike down there?

I'm totally considering this camp since it's within driving distance. But I'm also wanting to do the yet-to-be-announced Tour of California Camp too. Decisions decisions!
Thanks! this looks like fun- would probably combine it with a family trip to Orlando. Yay Disney!
My wife and I rented Trek Speedconcepts at the Cycling Hub in Clermont this past April for the FL 70.3. $ 100 / day. Great service.
@Satish, I can look into it for sure. I bet I could work something out. Hey, look what Marc posted (Thanks!): http://www.clermontbicycles.com/rentals As for vacation to Orlando, I am sure we can help with that as well (our travel partner actually started by working with Disney!). Note that Clermont is only 30' from Disney!
@Marc, tough call. Two very different experiences…the TOC is all bike, the JVC is all TRI. The TOC is almost mid-season (in May), whereas the JVC is meant to be a winter break!
@Mike I totally thought of you when I was making the camp! It's perfect…will be awesome to have you there!
@Jan, that's a great tip..thanks!
@Paul, this will be great for you…and great for us to have you there! There is no limit to campers other than getting it started! As for the bikes, I was thinking road bike but if you are close to your race like Mike, then it should be all tri.
@Patrick: Wife and kids seem receptive (surprise surprise), We would need a place for all of us to stay while I am at the camp and they could do Disney then we would probably all go back to Orlando for a few days before flying home to the snowdrifts. Not sure how this works with the pricing.
what time do things start on thursday? Could I fly on thursday morning and arrive in Clermont thursday afternoon?
Paul, don't be like that!!!
I/we are in. I will be training, wife and kids will be heading to the theme parks.
@Beth, yes, single occupancy means your own room, so your travel partner would be a GO!
@Paul, fantastic!!!
We have four folks sign up now...so we need to get to that magical number of 10!!!!
Unfortunately there has been a change in leadership at my workplace and I am now only able to book calendar weeks off from work. Unless the dates can be changed from wednesday to Saturday (to allow for travel home on Sunday), I will probably have to withdraw. I will know for sure by Friday but its not looking good.
@satish, you can check in / leave anytime....every year folks have to leave a day early for a variety of reasons...you'll still get 3 of 4 great days of training...but I can't change the whole camp for everyone b/c of your work...keep me posted!
