I'm trying to judge interest in a training vacation in March of next year, Gulf Shores, AL
(Orange Beach
). If there is sufficient interest, I'll start to look into this more thoroughly.
Every year I plan a trip to Gulf Shores for a week of training to jumpstart the year. I'm planning on being in Gulf Shores
(Orange Beach
) again in March 2010, probably arriving 3/13, and leaving 3/20, and am looking to see if there may be interest in having other people join in the fun, sort of a spring training camp. If all arrangements were taken care of, and if it was affordable at about $400-$500 for the week with your own room, what kind of interest would there be? The exact location would probably be at Sugar Beach resort, right on the beach, next to the State Park.
Water temps at this time are usually about 65*. As an added bonus, I'm an open water swim instructor, and I can help you with your open water swimming. My "ideal" group would be to have someone who is a strong cyclist, and someone who is a strong runner. That way, we could help each other out.
Anyone on top of that would be a bonus. Just think, 8 days of swim/bike/run every day. I think in 2009, I swam about 20 miles, ran about 50, and biked about 200 miles. It put me in good position, both physically as well as mentally, to start my season.
Please add any ideas, thoughts, interest for something like this.
