2012 :
Key Largo Bike and Adventure Tours is teaming up with Ultimate Athletics of Key West to put together an all-inclusive Triathlon Camp in the Florida Keys. The camps are designed to help both the serious athlete and the amateur athlete who want formalized training. Ultimate Athletics is founded by William Elkins of Key West and William is one of the race directors for the Key West Triathlon. For the serious athlete, the camp gives an early season start to training and allows open ocean access to participants. Attendees can also have their swimming videotaped and analyzed by Olympian Jon Olsen, a resident of Islamorada. The camp is also timed for the nationally acclaimed St. Anthony’s Triathlon in April. In addition to focusing on sharpening the three skill sets, the camp offers attendees training and nutrition, nor does it forget locals and commuters. The camp does offer a commuter rate and allows them to pick the day or days of the week they would like to train depending on their needs. Housed in Islamorada, the facilities are within running or cycling distance to the training grounds. Fees includes airport transportation, lodging, training and lunches.Attendees can bring their own bikes, or ship them to Key Largo Bike shop for assembly. The shop also can rent road bikes as well. Contact Bill Elkins at 305-394-4065 or Mark Terrill at 305-395-1551 for information and prices. The camp will be limited to 30 people. Dates are February 9-13, 2012, and April 15-19, 2012.
