September Colorado Tri Training Camp
I'm posting a reminder that I will be in Aspen/Snowmass tri training from Sept 10-30. This is an opportunity for any ENers who want to get a flavor of what the notorious spring AspEN Al T'Tude Bad Ass camp is like. In the Fall, it's more "leisurely", meaning I'm just there for three weeks doing standard IM prep training for my (possibly) final IM Oct 12.
This time of year is perfect, temps ranging from 60-85 depending on altitude; very little to no chance of rain (summer monsoon is over, winter storms not yet arrived), aspen leaves turning gold, the crowds thinning, and the scenery at its most spectacular.
Come for a day or a week...this is not a formal "camp", with a start and end date, rather an opportunity to get ready for your fall race in a stunning location which caters to all outdoor activities: mountain biking, hiking, road cycling, trail running, SUP, swimming (outdoors or in), golf, etc, etc, etc. The bike routes are NOT steep, and can even be "flat" (1% rail-trail runs 40 miles from my house). But the air is thin, helping build those extra red blood cells via natural EPO stimulation. And...you go downhill faster with less wind resistance!
All this for only $15/person/night, breakfast included.

Ummm, so tempting since I’ve got spare travel miles. This would fall on my Choo taper though🤔
Keeping this on my radar, if I can swing it time wise.
no idea if i can swing it but boy I wanna be there...
I have this high on my list. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
I may be able to make it the last weekend. I'll keep you posted. Thanks, Al!
I need to check calendar, but this might work out for me for at least a few days!
@Al Truscott its looking like my calendar is allowing for this to happen. What would you suggest would fit your schedule best? Midweek to midweek? Right now flights are cheap on Southwest, so if I pull the trigger now, I can fly RT for ~$250. I know its not a camp, but do you have "standard" rides you do that would help build for IMAZ? Tri bike or Road bike? What else do I need to know?
Is there anyone else on the team that is gong that would want to coordinate to share a rental car?
@Gary Lewis @Al Truscott
i was looking at the week of 9/17-9/22. Booking rewards flight so we will see what that looks like. I’m just waiting on work schedule to be finalized then I’ll be able to commit.
@Gary Lewis @Josh Church Sep 17 works great as a start date. Tri bike works best if you're training for IM. There a a number of rputes of all lengths... let's move future communication to email: al@bikrutz.org I'll try to add you to camp groupme
