Driven to Tri are offering British Triathlon members a discount on our remaining ‘Big Weekenders’ which are being held in the South West in March and April. The camps are being run by Peter Freedman, Harry Wiltshire and Richard Brady, who between them have experience coaching and competing at Olympic Games, World and European Championships. The weekend camps are a great chance for athletes to get both technical coaching and push themselves to the limits in the lead up to the 2010 triathlon season.

Each camp normally costs £175 which includes two night's bed and breakfast accommodation and an evening meal. We're offering the chance for two members to come along for £300. Alternatively, one member can sign up for both camps for £300 – both saving £50 on the original price and far cheaper than any warm weather camp!

Full details about the ‘Big Weekenders’ and the coaches can be found below. For further information please contact Pete or Harry at contact@driventotri.com . Alternatively visit the camps section of the Driven to Tri website here.

Testimonials from 2008/9 Big Weekend Athletes

“Thank you so much for The Driven to Tri Big Weekend at Bath, it was a fantastic camp, really well organised and high energy enthusiasm from the coaches. It was a well-balanced weekend though as there was no pressure to do more than you were comfortable doing and great to have a real mix of abilities. I liked the fact that there were lots of options for different sessions, speeds, etc. I loved the cycle rides especially to and round the Cheddar Gorge and to swim in the 50m pool at Bath University. The race on Sunday was a great way to top off the weekend.... it was impressive to see what your body could actually cope with and even turned out some great racing results considering the hard weekend's training.”
Jill Parker (2nd Windsor Elite Triathlon, 1st overall National Age Group Champs)

Thanks again for an awesome weekend. I still can’t believe how lucky we were with the weather. Dartmoor was a perfect location and that was some of the most beautiful scenery I have had the pleasure of cycling through. With any luck all those hills will have me set for The Hell of The Ashdown sportive next Sunday.

“Thanks so much I had a great weekend! I was actually sad to leave yesterday and was wanting to turn around and go back for more - after a little sleep maybe ;o)”
