I hope I don't sound uninformed or out of the loop, but has anyone heard of Epic Camp? It is a 2 week training camp for elite triathletes run by Scott Molina and a few other Professional Triathletes. To be accepted to the camp you must have finished an IM in under 10 hrs. Here is one week of training totals:
Day – Swim/Bike/Run
One – 6.5k/161k/14k
Two – 6.5k/231k/14k
Three – 6.5k/128k/12k
Four – 6.5k/204k/12k
Five – 6.5k/183k/12k
Six – 4.0k/140k/12k&12k
Seven – 7.0K&6.5k/91k/12k&21k
Weekly Totals
Swim: 50,125 meters over 13.4hrs
Bike: 1,138k over 40.6hrs
Run: 121ks over 9.9hrs
Does this seem insane to anyone else?!?! I mean, obviously you are at a level I cannot even comprehend to finish an IM in under 10 hrs anyway, but this doesn't seem real. This is the equivalent of riding one week of the Tour de France and running 3 marathons at the same time! Not to mention all the swimming!
Please let me know if I am overreacting here. I admit, I have never done an IM... and never will if this is what it takes!
