Lake Placid Triathlon Training Camp,

June 20-23, 2013

We'll help you develop your open-water swimming skills in the best swim venue on the triathlon circuit, we'll cycle on the Ironman race course and the rural back roads of Lake Placid and run on the River Road course that makes up the heart of the Ironman marathon course.

This is great preparation for anyone who is planning an Ironman, now or in the future. But it's not a camp for just Ironman athletes. It's for people on every level who want to improve their swim skills and get in some good bike and run miles in one of the nation's most beautiful triathlon settings. Most important of all, it's for folks who want to have fun!

While we hope everyone can join in the fun, we have to limit the number of campers, so please let us know if you're interested or have any questions.

Join The Ride, Join In The Fun

Our group rides depart Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 7:30 a.m. from our center at 304B Harry Truman Parkway in Annapolis. The pace and distance vary to suit the group, and often we divide into sub-groups so that everyone can ride with others who want to go at about the same speed. The Tuesday night ride is marketed on the pavement. There are cue sheets for every ride that you can download here. The rides aren't just for Kinetic Motion athletes or Annapolis Triathlon Club members. Everyone is welcome, so come on out!

The Indoor Group Ride!

     Don't let cold weather get in the way of your training or force you into endless pedaling alone on your trainer. Kinetic Motion Indoor training program is a great way to build your strength and endurance during the winter months.
      Beginning in November, we start the first of two eight-week sessions that carry through until it's warm enough to resume outdoor riding.    Don't confuse these sessions with spin classes or mass-produced bike-trainer videos. Each 8-week session is designed as a progressive series of workouts that will increase your strength, endurance and speed. These step-by-step training sessions are designed and supervised by a team of USAT and USA Cycling coaches who will provide guidance on your cycling form and training tips that expand your understanding of the sport.
        The sessions will be held in the main gym at KM headquarters, 304B Harry S. Truman Parkway, with easy garage-door access for unloading and loading equipment.
      The cost of each 8-week session is $160. Annapolis Triathlon Club members receive a 10 percent discount. Cost to current KM-trained athletes, $130 for the eight weeks.
