Master  1558    Pensacola, Fl |  Subject: Early season training camp/vacationFor those of you that don't know, I have IMAZ coming up in April of next year, so it is training over the winter months for me. Here is what I am now thinking....how about an early season training camp or just a get-away trip to warmer weather for a few days to do some long rides, runs and even some swimming. But the question is...where??? I don't really want to fly with my bike (I am doing that for IMAZ) so the location would need to be in driveable distance even if it took a full day to drive there.
Anyone else want to join? Any ideas??? Please help!!!

Champion 5529 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: Early season training camp/vacation Pensacola/Destin/Panama City Florida sounds like your only viable options. I am actually pondering a similiar 'vacation' in Feb. to tune up. |

Master 1558 Pensacola, Fl | Subject: RE: Early season training camp/vacation Tri Take Me Away - 2006-10-24 3:59 PM Hello??? Come to Tampa! I have thought of that...doing the long drive down for the Gasparilla Half Mary then training for most of the week then heading up to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras Half. But I am also considering going to Austin and doing the same as above with the Austin half and the Mardi Gras. P'cola is a good option too, but it can be cold at that time of year. Might be too chancy. Keep them coming folks.....thanks! |

You're not going to be able to drive far enough to escape the "can be cold." I've seen it snow in Austin, late February (two nights before the marathon), for example. We'll always have room down here. |

Extreme Veteran 355 Kuna, Idaho | Subject: RE: Early season training camp/vacation Head south as far as you can and pray for good weather. You can always find roads to ride and run. The big question is finding a good place to swim. Most hotels have small pools. However there a a lot of YMCA's, Gyms and public pools. |
