[UPDATED] The 2015 Lake Placid Camp is Open!
UPDATE: Now includes the names of folks who will be attending...see the responses below for the details!
Team -
Coach P is firing up his 2015 training camps…and Lake Placid is one of them!
>> Complete Placid camp details are here.
The camp — our 13th camp in Lake Placid — is June 11th to the 14th, in Lake Placid, NY.
During this three day block, I will be on a mission to get you as fit and educated as possible.
Attending an EN Race Specific Camp is one of the most critical things you can do leading up to you next race. This is generally how the camp works:
-
We will meet on Thursday night in the Host Hotel (Hampton Inn) for a welcome reception and review of the weekend. This is a great chance to meet your teammates and get last minute questions answered.
-
Friday and Saturday morning we leave from the hotel in wave starts designed to keep you in close proximity to other campers and maximize your ride time on the course. Each ride has an optional brick run window afterwards.
-
Friday and Saturday we have pre-Dinner lectures to help you develop a mastery of the course as well as refine your overall Race Execution strategy.
-
Saturday night is also the Closing Dinner when we commiserate over shatter quads and carb it up for the Sunday run.
-
Sunday is the long run on the course, once again a great learning opportunity for you.
-
We ride on the actual race course — this means you’ll see course markings, landmarks and experience every inch of the terrain you will face on race day. You’ll learn where things get hard, how to handle terrain and variable conditions and much more.
-
By the end of the camp you’ll have logged 224 miles on the bike and 20 miles on the run. Your brain will literally ache from all the learning you’ve done and your face will hurt from laughing so hard. Good times guaranteed.
Quick Details:
Registration includes everything but mercy. Technically, your registration fee covers the Camp, Schwag, Lodging all all meals except your Thursday and Friday dinner. All you need to do is GET THERE.
You should bring your tri bike, running shoes and all your racing gear. We’ll put in a lot of time on the road and you’ll want to be able to test your equipment, fitness, nutrition plan and much more.

Welcome to our newest campers as of 3/18!( I know ...there's always one...)
I'm in but I still need to register!! I may camp near by vs stay in the hotel but I plan on doing all the team activities/meals. I hope to arrive Thursday mid morning and swim once I'm settled in. Keep everyone posted on arrival times just in case others want to swim. I'm excited yet nervous.
Should I just swap week 14 and 15?
Just to follow up on switching the training weeks for those going to the LP camp. Should we do week 13, 15(camp), 16 then 14? The first few days of week 16 is recovery from week 15 of training camp. Thanks.
Check the opening post in this forum.
I think that Patrick updated it since back in November and it mentions the Hampton Inn. Typically there is an email right before hand with a waiver to print out, sign, and bring along to turn in, along with a few other details.
If anyone else is getting in to town early enough on Thursday and wanted to swim a lap in the lake, I should be there.
See you guys next week.
I was up in Placid this past weekend. Water temp was perfect and the bouy cables are in. Roads were generally in good shape other than some washboard surface on the last 2 miles down into Keene and the bridge at the bottom that is down to one lane for construction.
I been up there several times training on my own. Looking forward to being with a team.
If anyone is planning on attending the IMLP camp in a few weeks bring bug stray or skin so soft!!! I was up there this past weekend and the black flies are horrible. I'm bit from head to toe. See you soon!
