BALI TRIATHLON TRAINING CAMP
30th June – 3rd July 2011
Based in a stunning private villa in the Canggu area, along the coast north of Seminyak, this 4 day camp will comprise some big bike rides, ocean and pool swims and beach runs that will provide you with a solid base for the your races in the 2nd half of the year
This camp is orientated towards cycling with impressive long winding climbs to the north west of the island reaching heights of 1650m. For this reason, this camp is aimed at intermediate and advanced riders.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Bali provides perfect conditions for high quality cycling. Big climbs of up to 40km along high quality quiet village roads away from the bustle of the tourist areas. There are breathtaking vistas of the volcano lakes high up in the northern mountains where the air is cool and crisp. The rides will be supported by Metasport coaches and support vehicles with roof racks for your bikes if you need to take a break.
Combine this with long runs along firm black volcanic sand beaches and an ocean swim in the crystal clear waters along the north shore near Pemuteran and you have the perfect triathlon training camp, all set in luxurious accommodation and fueled with the famously delicious Balinese food.

Swimming
The North shore of Bali is famous for its diving and snorkeling. You will be able to practice a big ocean swim in clear safe waters aided by support boasts. The will also be a pool swim at the Canggu Club to help add some volume and provide you with technical coaching.
Cycling
Day 1 will take you over the volcanic mountains from the South to the North of the island. 120km of riding with some long steady climbs. Day 2 will be spent exploring the quiet North Western Hills in the National Park area. Day 3 will see you taking another route from North to South of 150km. Your reward for this will be a view of the 3 volcanic lakes of Bali. The combined elevation of both days will be over 3000m. and the cycling will be rounded off on day 4 with an steady 80km ride in the Tabanan foothills.
Running
Bali has some fantastic black sand beaches, which are perfect for long steady runs after high tide. You will be able to step out onto the beach from the Canggu villa and run for miles. The run in the evening back to the villa as the sun sets is breathtaking, comforted in the knowledge that there will be a gin and tonic waiting for you at the pergola.

ACCOMMODATION
We have chosen to base our camp at a luxury private villa on the beach in the Canggu area. The villa will proved you with all the comfort you deserve after a hard days training. Meals will be prepared by in-house chefs in beautiful surroundings.
The location is ideal for the long runs and being tucked away far from the tourist areas makes the ride to the mountains more accessible.
Day 2 and 3 of the camp will see us re-locate for two nights to a beach side resort in the North West Coast of the island in the Pemuteran area to accommodate our long rides. Overnight bags will be transported for you. The sea on the north shore is perfect for ocean swimming.
