In the interest of disclosure it should be noted that I work for Trek & Trek Travel - but we are running a couple triathlon related camps this year that I thought would interest some of you…

Tim DeBoom will be a Special Guest and Coach on Trek Travel’s new Triathlon Training Camps in 2005.

Waterloo, Wisconsin (11/2004) - Trek Travel, a subsidiary of Trek Bicycle Corporation, offering luxury bicycling vacations for the leisure traveler, is please to announce the creation of three new trips dedicated to triathletes and getting the most out of your triathlon training. Whether you’re looking to qualify for Hawaii or looking for some sun & fun – Trek Travel’s three new tri-trips will be right up your alley.

Join us for some “Iron-viewing” at the 2005 Ironman World Championship or come along for a week of tri-training with two-time Ironman Champion Tim DeBoom. On the Ironman trip we’ll spend race day at key vantage points watching the legendary Ironman during all three stages of competition. On the training camps with Tim DeBoom choose from Hawaii or Santa Barbara – you’ll have the chance to improve your riding form with specific tri-training tips and personalized coaching sessions with coach Tim, himself.

With the legendary customer service of Trek Travel, the experience of coach Tim and the technical analysis of the CycleOps® Power-tap wheels, you will find the week ends with a new found respect for the art of triathlon and training tips you can take home to improve your next race – be it your tenth Ironman or your first triathlon. During the week of training Tim will provide four presentations on the following topics: how to build an all-year training program using ideas of periodization and peak performance, how to prepare for an A race, what is the best nutrition for training vs. racing, how to select the proper equipment. A week filled with information to help you reach your next goal.

Hawaii training with Tim DeBoom – January 25 – 30, 2005 - $3275

Santa Barbara training with Tim DeBoom – February 13 – 18, 2005 - $2575

I’m sure there are people here who will attend this… I want to hear their reasons for doing so… seriously… man…

But Americans are willing to pay big bucks for their love affair with celebrity.

Francois, I agree that it’s not a cheap vacation. But we do stay in great hotels (not as important to some people for sure) and look after all the little details. It’s not everyone’s program for sure, but some like the luxury side of travel…

We’ve priced these trips to be as close to our regular vacation-trips as possible with $300 - $400 extra per person to cover the cost of having Tim along.

And I sympathise with your problems re: hotels in CDA - that does suck. I’ve stayed in some dodgy places at big races for the same reason.

If the price is too high for you, you can come to Missouri and train with me for 1/2 that. And training with me, you probably won’t get get dropped on the bike or run as you most likely will with Tim.

Don’t forget to dress warm,

Wouldn’t that send Slowman into a rit of fealous jage?!! (With credit, and apologies, to Peter Sellers, God rest his soul.)

no disrespect to Tim, but celebrity? I have a different perception of what celebrity is. I would like to train a bit with him, but I sure wouldnt pay a cent to do it.

The high price of triathlon and everything associated with it are beginning to make me sick (and broke).
