Vandy Tri has Boot Camp two times per year. This is a bonding time, a recruiting opportunity, and a chance to harden everyone up. I only managed to get pictures of Saturday. The boot camp was from Friday night through Sunday and pushed everyone pretty hard.
Everyone was tired because I made them start at 7am. Here they are stretching out and waking up. Craig G. (red shirt) is either brushing his teeth or eating a gel.
Warm-up laps on the Vanderbilt University track.
Next we did videotaping for run form analysis. We videotaped everyone from side view and front view. We did endurance pace and race pace.
We had a lot of fun analyzing everyone's run form. The running form and technique I teach incorporates posture analysis, cadence, and POSE method. I have done this session with clients and teams many times, and it always amazes me how productive it is.
Gearing up for a 22 mile ride to the open water swim. Maria M. lubes and wipes off her chain.
Not a bad looking bunch, ready to ride some greenways to J. Percy Priest Lake.
Time for open water swim practice in Hamilton Creek Marina.
And they're off.
Bikes piled up. Most of the team rode the 22 miles back to campus after the swim. I would have loved to stick around and train with the team (flog them some more) but I had to go to Atomic Man.

The boot camps the tri team puts on are amazing. With the whole team training together and seeing everyone in pushing to get better is really what these camps are about. Steve's insight and critical eye really help improve everyone's technique. I have never noticed anyone come out of the boot camps and not learn something new. Keep you eye's open for the winter boot camp, it will be well worth your time.
