Dear Campers,

Welcome to the Firemanironman Triathlon Camps we are glad you decided to join us this year as we are celebrating our 10th year at Lake Placid for our June camp.  While you are here at camp we hope to fulfill all your expectations and answer all your questions.

The June camp is quiet larger and tries to simulate race weekend, you should have your race setup together and nutrition fine tuned to try on the course. As you know we try and have you out on the course at the time of day you will be racing in that particular discipline. Please try to adhere to those times if you must go out on your own earlier or later in the day please be careful and always have ID on your person. We also can’t promise you support on the course if you don’t adhere to the camp start times.

Whether you are a coached or self coached this is a perfect opportunity for sport specific training to incorporate your nutritional, physical and mental strategies in a simulated race environment. As you know you will be out there alone on race day so we encourage you to use this opportunity to practice these race strategies. We will offer you a great support system along with plenty of encouragement as you build confidence and work out the kinks in your race plan. We also give you access to some of the best coaches and triathletes in the area.



Please bring all climate clothing and training gear for both camps you will experience a multitude of climates while up in Lake Placid even at the June camp the morning ride can start out in the low 40’s so be prepared for it all. Lake Placid is usually very athlete friendly but even the most patient of people may loose their temper when trying to go to work and cyclist riding 4 abreast are chit chatting and taking up the road. Please ride single file when in town and use good judgment at all the intersections and congested areas.


We have some great sponsors once again and as always great prizes and raffles including entry into some of the best local races.

We all look forward to training with you on the course, seeing our old friends and meeting our new ones. The itinerary for camp should be up on this blog Tues. evening June 15.
