3rd Annual Endure It! Spring Training Camp in Solvang California!
Registration is now open for the endure it! camp held each spring in beautiful Solvang Ca. A few changes have been made this year...Michael Lovato will be attending as an associate Coach! Michael is perhaps the premier American Ironman Athlete today. He has consistently finished in the top ten at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships as well as a recent winner of Ironman Arizona and Ironman Coeur d'alene. Michael is best known for his outgoing personality as well as his willingness to give back to the athletic community.
I am really excited to work with Michael and I believe he will add a whole lot to our experience.
The Program
The focus of the camp will be to get in plenty of early season miles on the bike. The scenery and terrain are absolutely unbeatable and very easy to understand why so many pro tour cycling teams use this area for their team training camps. The roads are quiet, the staff is fantastic, the food is great, and the best part are the friends and memories forged each year from the entire experience. Remember it is all about the stories we tell!
Expectations
You do not not need to be an elite athlete by any means, but you need to be in good early season condition. Everything on the schedule is optional and you are not expected to push yourself beyond what you are comfortable with. Swimming and running are part of the camp of course yet the daily emphasis is the cycling. The bike riding is world class thus we want to take advantage of it as best we can. Expect to ride a challenging 30-70 miles per day including some very difficult mountain passes! Again, you do not need to be fast or elite and all speeds are accetable but you must be able to handle a week long challenging camp.
The Experience
The camp is designed to significantly raise our early season fitness. It is also to provide a spectacular backdrop to what we love to do...swim, bike, and run! You will be challenged, you will have a heap of laughs, and you will not forget it!
The Economy
We are all well aware of the difficult times we are in from an economic stand point and there are a few things I would like to point out to everyone. The flights this year are on average $150-$200 cheaper. We can ship your bike from endure it! with a relative low cost as a group. We will not charge to break down, pack and put together your bike to and from the camp. In direct comparison to similar run camps we are still very inexpensive, in other words you get a lot out your $$$.

I am really looking forward to this years edition!
