Whether you’ve done a race or two or just crushed our swim and transition clinics, this is the next step in your journey to better performance and confidence.
What’s a Skills Camp?
Think of it as race weekend + insider training camp rolled into one unforgettable experience. You’ll spend two focused days sharpening every part of your triathlon alongside the Cal Tri Events team and fellow athletes.
Camp Highlights Include:
✔ In-depth swim mechanics & analysis
✔ VO2 max bleep testing
✔ Bike handling and confidence drills
✔ Form running and core strength work
✔ Heart rate training & fueling strategy
✔ Transition clinic and race planning
✔ Nutrition insights & “A Race” periodization tips
…and so much more!
Plus we’ll hook you up with swag like a Cal Tri hat, t-shirt, race belt, swim cap, snacks, hydration, and other goodies to fuel your success.
