General Information
We have received lots of questions regarding the Camp so down at the bottom of this page I have listed some answers to the questions asked. Please contact me if there is anything else you would like to know.

We have been vacationing, training and racing in Florida since before 1998 when Garth completed the Great Floridian Iron Distance Triathlon in Clermont, just 20 minutes north of Orlando. Since those days Clermont has become something of a mecca for Triathlon, Running and Cycling with the development of an Olympic National Training Center with a wonderful open water 50m pool and 400m track as well as the West Orange Trail offering miles of paved trails to ride and run on, as well as great shopping, restaurants, golf and of course the lovely warm climate of Florida in March.

Prior to the Camp we will ask you to send us some information about yourself, your current fitness levels, races completed and goals and ambitions in Triathlon over the next few years, this will allow us to tailor our training and coaching to meet your needs to maximise the training available to you in Florida.

For more information on the Camp or to reserve your spot please call Toll free on – 1 877 210 1085 or e-mail Garth at garth@seelystreet.com.

1) As with our Hampton Ladies Tri this Camp will be a fun, no-pressure, testosterone fee week of training and learning but with the emphasis on fun.
2) Do not worry about your current ability level – the Camp will be a learning experience and will provide you with all the tools you will need to compete in your goal races.
3) It will add to the camaraderie of the Camp if everyone stays on-site at Lake Louisa State Park as we will be able to communicate with everyone easily in the event that we need to make last minute alterations to activities.
4) We will have the athletic and coaching ability on this Camp to work with anyone training for Sprint Triathlon, Olympic, 70.3 or longer.
5) Will be training at the following locations:

and of course you have all week to ask as many questions as you wish of the 6 of us coaching the Camp.

8) We will provide information and directions to all the best running & bike shops in Clermont & Orlando.
